16 hours ago
America's 250th anniversary celebrations are officially underway across the country including where the Revolutionary War began.
In Lexington, Massachusetts, crowds gathered before sunrise to watch a reenactment of the Battle of Lexington, the first clash of the American revolution.
The Battle of Lexington marked the opening moments of the Revolutionary War more than 250 years ago, when a small group of local militia stood their ground against a much larger British force.
Today, that moment is being honored as part of the nationwide "America 250" celebration, a commemoration leading up to the country's 250th birthday.
Organizers say the goal is not just to remember history, but to bring it to life for a new generation, highlighting the people and events that helped shape the nation's founding.
