Concord will welcome thousands of visitors in April 2025 for the 250th anniversary of the Shot Heard ‘Round the World. Maybe your out-of-town family or friends will want to come and be part of the fun. Be ready to answer their questions like a pro (Did Paul Revere raise the alarm in Concord? Who shot first? Is this the original bridge?). Concord public historian Victor Curran will offer a one-night summary of his Concord History Course to give you all the talking points you need to tell Concord’s stories like a native from its first indigenous people to its famous writers and antislavery activists, with a special emphasis on the town’s vital role on the first day of the American Revolution. This will include time to answer your questions.
