The Old North Bridge — A Moment That Changed History
Just minutes from Seventy McCallar Lane stands the iconic Old North Bridge — the historic site of the first organized resistance during the American Revolution. It was here, in April of 1775, that colonial militia and British troops exchanged fire, marking the beginning of America’s fight for independence. Today, the bridge remains a quiet, powerful symbol of courage and legacy, nestled within the natural beauty of Minute Man National Historical Park.
Where History Lives in Silence
Set beside the gentle bend of the Concord River, the Old North Bridge is more than a landmark — it is a place of remembrance. Emerson’s Concord Hymn, etched into stone, pays tribute to the quiet courage of those who stood their ground in 1775. Surrounded by peaceful meadows and historic stillness, this sacred ground invites reflection on the values that shaped a nation — and continue to define it.

Where the Story Turned Personal
Near this quiet trail stands the site of Josiah Nelson’s home — and the moment he became the first known casualty of the American Revolution. A farmer and housewright, Josiah was wounded by a British officer the night before the battle, just for asking a question. His wife Elizabeth tended his wounds, and he rode on to carry the alarm. This humble marker reminds us: history is shaped not only by battles, but by the lives caught in their path.
