In this video, the Bobbblehead George crew takes you to Lexington, Massachusetts... the site of the first shots of the American Revolution!
At dawn on April 19, 1775, more than 700 British troops reached Lexington. There they found Captain John Parker and about 70 colonial militiamen waiting. The British commander ordered the Americans to drop their muskets. The colonists refused. No one knows who fired first, but within a few minutes eight militiamen lay dead.
The Parker boulder is a granite stone in Lexington, Massachusetts that marks the site of Captain John Parker's Minutemen during the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775. The boulder is inscribed with a quote attributed to Captain Parker... "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they mean to have war, let it begin here."
