National Park Service

Minute Man National Historical Park recently announced the discovery of five musket balls that are believed to have been fired by provincial militia soldiers on April 19, 1775, in what was later coined as “The Shot Heard Round the World.” The musket balls were discovered in an area of the park where British soldiers gathered to resist a river crossing. According to analysis of the musket balls, they were fired from the opposite side of the river, not dropped while reloading. The fighting at North Bridge in Concord, though brief, was a pivotal moment in the battles of Lexington and Concord. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his 1837 “Concord Hymn,” deemed the battle “The Shot Heard Round the World” because of how it escalated the conflict. The archaeologists who uncovered the musket balls were surveying an area along the Concord River for a future Great American Outdoors Act project.

“I do enjoy the water. I find it quite calming. It’s like swimming in a sea of my own fabulousness.” - Moira Rose It’s great to enjoy the water, but one thing our visitors know well is that swimming in rivers, lakes, and oceans is very different from swimming in a pool, either at home or at a motel. You can encounter strong currents, high waves, and cold temperatures. Learning how to swim can help bring everyone home after a fun day in the water and let you truly enjoy the fabulousness. Fun fact: Moose are adept swimmers and can hold their breath underwater for a full minute. Nice. Take a swimming class that teaches: 🏊 Basic swimming skills 🏊 Water survival skills 🏊 Water safety awareness Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/eh_6TvKC Image: Nothing is more fabulous than a moose swimming at Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. Maybe a disgruntled pelican. Wait, do they swim?
