The Minute-Men of Northboro vow to fight for Country and Liberty.

In Lexington the Buckman tavern built in 1690 is now owned by the Lexington Historical Society and used by the Community Association as a social center near the village green where Captain Parker and the minute men faced British troops.

Polish hero Tadeusz Kosciuszko joined the American cause as a volunteer engineer in the Revolutionary War.
