The King of Battle: Artillery Demonstration

North Bridge Visitor Center
11:00 am & 1:00 pm (30 Minutes)


Betweeen September 1774 and April 1775, the people of Massachusetts raced British soldiers to secure large quantities of artillery and ammunition. Overall, the Patriot forces moved scores of cannon from the coast of Massachusetts to inland stockpiles including one located in Concord. Come experience the devestating power of artillery in 1775 and learn why the threat of patriot cannon unltimately spurred the British Army into action.

Programs will be held at 11 am and 1 pm. Firing will be dependent on weather and cannon crew.
