I will never forget the principals this great country was founded upon. Even though Massachusetts, where I live, is no longer recognizable as that revolutionary state, patriots still reside here. Hold the line.
On this day in 1775, the American Revolution began with shots fired in Lexington and Concord, MA.
While Route 20 did not exist back then, the Boston Post Road did. Diary entries from that day, from colonists in Weston and Wayland, wrote that while outside, they could hear rallies of gunfire rolling over the hills.
Tensions were high, and it was obvious that this was not just an ordinary drill. One entry indicated that some militiamen heard the gunfire and rode to occasion to assist taking the Post Road to Concord, just six miles away.
Today is Patriots Day in Massachusetts, a state holiday. Typically the Boston Marathon is run today and crosses Kenmore Square. The eastern end of Route 20.
