Bullet Strikes From the First Day of the American Revolution with Joel Bohy

February 21 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join the Friends of Minute Man National Park for our annual Winter Lecture Series. Using forensic techniques straight out of CSI, Joel Bohy and co-author Douglas Scott have located the surviving bullet holes and bullet-struck artifacts from the battle that started the American Revolution. Learn what these violent scars of conflict and patriotism can tell us about what really happened on that fateful day when the redcoats marched on Lexington and Concord.

This program is free and open to the public, no registration is required.For more information, please visit the Friends of Minute Man website at www.friendsofminuteman.org/events.
