Today is #PatriotsDay! In 1894, Massachusetts made the 3rd Monday in April a state holiday. It’s also known by many here in the Bay State as Marathon Monday. Patriots’ Day honors the colonists who fought the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, where the first shots were fired at the ‘redcoats,’ signifying the true beginnings of the American Revolution.
