The "shot heard round the world," which signaled the start of the Revolutionary War, was fired from this spot.
Reviewed By KarenV87 - Tampa, United States
This was the highlight of our visit to Concord. The origination of the phrase "the shot heard round the world" from the Concord Hymn as told by Ralph Waldo Emerson's family who lived in the house known as the Old Manse. You can see the house and the bridge as you enter the site. There's also a grave of the British soldiers who died in the battle. There is a verse from James Russell Lowell's poem "Lines" inscribed in the memorial plaque. It gave me chills reading the following: They came three thousand miles and died, to keep the past upon its throne: Unheard, beyond the ocean tide, their English Mother made her moan. There is also a famous statue called "The Minute Man" and a memorial obelisk at the foot of the North Bridge. You'll also see lots of wildlife. We had our first chipmunk sighting on the wall near the grave of the British soldiers. They are so cute! You might even see a wild turkey. It's just a great place to visit for nature or history.

Bring your camera when you visit this former trolley bridge, which is a flower garden ablaze with color.

What to do with an unused trolley bridge? Turn it into a garden of course, and plant it up with the most gorgeous flowers and plants. This bridge is beautiful and worth a visit if you are in the area. There are also some great art and gift shops nearby so you won’t be sorry if you stop off in Shelburne Falls for an hour or two.

This fairly new bridge is spectacular in its design. Talking pictures from the TD Garden is ideal to capture this magnificent architectural structure.

Without any advance planning we decided to make a reservation on the Cape Cod Canal Train. And, I am so glad we did. We were able to secure seats in the first class car which was great as it was not very full and due to that we could view both the left and right windows. It was so fun to watch the Canal Railway Bridge rise up to allow a huge ship to pass through. This bridge is quite an artful piece the way it is constructed and used. Once the boat had been cleared we were able to start moving on the train. They have lunch tours and dinner tours, but, we were right in the middle of the afternoon so we ordered snacks! There was a narrator on the train who regaled us with historic information along with calling special sites to view. And the views were spectacular including salt marshes, cranberry bogs, vegetation and the like. Back at the station we took a walk along the canal that was beautiful.

This bridge spans the Ware River in the village of Gilbertville, an old mill section in Ware and Hardwick.It was originally built in 1886 and has had major reconstruction to repair structural problems. It is 137 feet long and 25 feet wide, allowing for only a single lane of traffic. Note: If you are planning to visit the Quabbin Reservoir Park, this interesting stop is just a few minutes away.
