Mark the 250th anniversary of the historic battles of Lexington and Concord, the first major military engagement of the American Revolution.
In the early morning of April 19, 1775, British troops and American colonists faced each other across a field in Lexington, Massachusetts. To this day, no one knows who pulled the trigger, but the opening shot of the American Revolution became “the shot heard ‘round the world.” How did Britain and 13 of her American colonies come to shoot at each other across the Lexington Common? Eddie Vaughn, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, will lead the discussion through the background of many of our greatest national stories.
Our Gonzales location was built in 1980 under the direction of Earline Decoteau, Director and serves as our Main Library location. It was expanded & renovated in 1996, 1998, and 2011, under the direction of Angelle Deshautelles, Director.
