Lexington and Concord

The shot heard around the world.  I can still remember a question that was on my 8th grade history test,  How many were killed at Lexington?  Can you answer that one?  Not too much to see, but we enjoyed seeing where history took place.

One of the patriots was wounded and managed to crawl to the doorstep of his house before he died.  His house is about 30 yards from where he was shot.
