Historic Structure Report, Developmental History: North Bridge
Sullivan JQ. 2004. Historic Structure Report, Developmental History: North Bridge. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Northeast Regional Office
Minute Man National Historical Park protects 970 acres in and around the Massachusetts towns of Lexington, Lincoln, and Concord, commemorating the opening battle in the American Revolutionary War. This historic structure report concerns the developmental history of North Bridge. The North Bridge possesses national significance in the areas of Military History and Commemoration. The site of the North Bridge derives much of its significance as having played an integral part in the Battle of Lexington and Concord. The battle, which marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, ranks among the most significant events in American history. The bridge spans the Concord River, connecting the battleground of the British to the battleground of the Patriots. Although the current bridge was not extant at the time of the battle, the location of the bridge overtime has remained largely unchanged and the importance of the bridge site and its surrounds was already recognized in the early years of the republic.
