Old North Bridge, Concord MA

On April 18, 1775, it was just a bridge across the Concord River in Concord MA. On April 19th it was the site of the first American victory in the Revolutionary War. Rebuilt many times, the present bridge is a replica thought to be like the one that British redcoats marched across—and were then forced back across by Minutemen from Concord and nearby towns. Today the North Bridge is among Concord's most beloved and visited sights.
