PROGRAM
Who Shot First?
How do we know what we know? History, or how we perceive it, is constantly changing! Much of what we "know" about events of the past is based upon how different historians interpret these events through the study of primary resources. During this one hour program, students will tour the North Bridge battlefield with a National Park Ranger who will lead a discussion of what happened there on April 19, 1775, day one of the American Revolution, using the landscape and other tangible resources to set the stage. Students will then engage with actual first-hand accounts of the fight, from different perspectives, and seek to answer the seemingly simple, yet not so simple, question; "Who shot first?"
Cost: $150.00 per group - up to 60 students
