Join me as we visit Lexington, the town where the American Revolution began. In the early morning hours of April 19, 1775, British soldiers and colonial militia clashed on Lexington Green, spilling Patriot blood and igniting a fury that would consume the British throughout the day. This brief but significant engagement marked the very inception of the United States of America.

April 19, 1775, changed the course of world history—journey with me as we explore the sites and stories of that historic day! #Lexington #April191775 #AmericanRevolution #HistoryExplored
