In Photos: The 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. Before dawn on April 19, crowds gathered at Lexington Battle Green to watch a reenactment of the first shots of the American Revolution. Seventy colonial militiamen faced hundreds of British redcoats in the brief first battle of the war, marking the beginning of a long struggle for independence.
