In April 1775, a historical event known as the Shot Heard Around the World took place at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. This event has been labeled as the first battle of the American Revolution by historians, but was it? Rick Hartinger, noted historian and lecturer, has devoted over 20 years to the study of this subject. In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, he will share about a conflict that took place six months prior to April 1775. Some historians believe this event was the true start of the American Revolution; but will you? Come and decide for yourself!
