The NorthBridge at Concord, Massachusetts, is the scene of some of the first shots fired in the American Revolution.
At the NorthBridge, later in the morning, the Americans were ready for a fight, returning British fire and sending the Englishmen on the run.
The NorthBridge lies less than a stone's throw from the Emerson family homestead, the "Old Manse," where Ralph Waldo Emerson's grandmother watched the proceedings between the colonists and British troops from her upstairs window.
While Emerson never observed the NorthBridge of 1775 (he was born after its dismantling), he probably viewed the Doolittle engravings and thus provided an accurate description of the structure and its natural environment.
Land around NorthBridge was low and marshy hence requiring a raised, cobblestone causeway to allow access during frequent floods.
