The Old Middlesex Chapter meets in Concord.

The Battle of Concord occured in the late morning hours of April 19, 1775. After British soldiers fired on the militiamen of Lexington, and were frustrated in their attempt to capture John Hancock and Samuel Adams, they headed to Concord as their spies had informed the British Governor of Boston, Thomas Gage, that there was a large collection of weapons and gunpowder there. In the early hours of the following day, British soldiers set out in secret to confiscate the weapons and gunpowder and to capture the traitors Hancock and Adams.
