The Begining of the Republic! Concord "The Old North Bridge"!

Good Stuff RTFM!

The bridge looks more weathered in your picture.  I couldn't get close enough for a good side view as the river was quite high and the lower fields were flooded this past Monday.

How long ago were yours taken?  I'm thinking that they may have just done another rebuild of the bridge.

Edit..it appears they did a 2005 reconstruction.

 On Apr. 19th 1775 Law enforcement authorities march on Concord to recover military arms and ammunition stolen from Ft William and Mary in Portsmouth NH the previous Dec.
During the search for these deadly assault weapons a violence erupted that saw the representatives of law and order driven off by extremists clinging bitterly to their guns, religion, and antipathy for those who were different from them.

Tim - they were taken from a real film 35mm camera (remember them?) then scanned in to a PC then uploaded to Photobucket years ago - unfortunate Photobucket does not tell me when they were uploaded.

I moved to Idaho in 2000, but I think I was back in MA (*shiver*) approx 2004 - so my best guesstimate is spring/summer 2003/4/5 ish -
Won't know until I run across the negatives (I took about 10 full rolls of (here's that word again) film) but only scanned what I thought would be interesting to post on the Project Appleseed Forum.

Unfortunatley they went through a revamp and my origonal post (which WOULD HAVE had the date) was cleared on the revamp....

So goes life.

Thank you though - I am a HUGE history buff - and I could not think of a better place to start than Concord/Lexington.
