Archaeologists recently discovered five musket balls at Minute Man National Historical Park in Massachusetts and traced them back to the event marked in history as “the Shot Heard ’Round the World,” which precipitated the American Revolutionary War in 1775, park officials said. The 249-year-old musket balls were discovered by archaeologists doing 'compliance activities' in preparation for an event, the National Park Service said in a news release Tuesday.
” The park protects the historic structures and landscapes associated with the opening battle of the American Revolution on that fateful day, including what happened at North Bridge and the colonists' confrontations with the British. “It’s incredible that we can stand here and hold what amounts to just a few seconds of history that changed the world almost 250 years ago,” said Minute Man Park Ranger Jarrad Fuoss, a historic weapons specialist.
