CONCORD, MASS. (WHDH) - Reenactors representing members of the Concord militia cross the Old North Bridge on Saturday just as brave men did 250 years ago when they prepared to face down the British Army.
Earlier in the morning, bells rang throughout the town to warn of the approaching British after a rider arrived in town to sound the alarm.
A parade commemorating the Battles of Lexington and Concord was also held in Concord on Saturday, with a crowd of people marching 3 miles through Concord and over the bridge before Gov. Maura Healey delivered a speech to the thousands of spectators who gathered.
Following the governor’s address, wreath-laying ceremonies were held at statues honoring those who died in the Battle of Concord.
