Conclusion of the Route - North Bridge, Concord
In addition to the line of march markers installed by the Children of the American Revolution, there is a marker at the North Bridge historic site (next to the Visitor's Center overlooking the bridge) that says:
"On the morning of April 19, 1775, approximately 400 colonials stood on the hill overlooking the North Bridge.  As smoke rose from Concord Center, the order to march was given.  In the exchange of fire that followed, Captain Isaac Davis, who had exclaimed "I haven't a man who is afraid to go", was killed together with Abner Hosmer, a private, also from Acton.

This memorial was erected by the Captain Isaac Davis Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, April, 1975."
