Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I grew up in the Buckman Tavern in Lexington, MA. The Battle of Lexington and Concord - the first battle of the Revolutionary War - took place across from the Tavern, in which the American soldiers ("Minutemen") awaited the arrival of the British Redcoat troops. The house and all of its original furnishings have been maintained, and it has been converted into a museum. My parents ran the tours for a while, which was why we lived there. Growing up in the midst of that history was priceless.
