This bronze plaque embedded in a stone wall was placed by the Old Concord Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1965. It acknowledges the former home of Samuel Prescott, the young doctor who joined Paul Revere and William Dawes in warning the colonists that British forces were en route to Lexington<\/a> and Concord<\/a> on April 18-19, 1775.<\/p>\n

Prescott famously evaded capture in Lincoln<\/a> and warned the local militia to caution Colonel James Barrett, who was storing arms at his farm along the Concord River<\/a>. Evidence also suggests that Prescott returned to Lexington after the battle to offer his services as a volunteer surgeon. Few details are known about Prescott\u2019s later life and there are differing ideas as to where his final resting place may be, but this plaque commemorates his services as \u201ca citizen of Concord and a high son of liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Its inscription reads:<\/p>\n

BEYOND THE STONE WALL IS THE SITE OF THE HOME OF
\nDOCTOR SAMUEL PRESCOTT
\nA CITIZEN OF CONCORD, AND
\nA HIGH SON OF LIBERTY
\nWHO, AT LEXINGTON ON THE MORNING OF APRIL 19, 1775,
\nJOINED PAUL REVERE AND WILLIAM DAWES, AND
\nWHEN INTERCEPTED BY A BRITISH PATROL IN LINCOLN
\nHE ALONE GOT THROUGH AND BROUGHT THE ALARM TO CONCORD.
\nIN 1776 HE WAS AT TICONDEROGA AND LATER HE SERVED ON
\nA PRIVATEER THAT WAS CAPTURED BY THE BRITISH.
\nHE WAS TAKEN TO HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA AND IMPRISONED
\nAND THERE HE DIED.<\/p>\n

BORN AUGUST 19, 1751, DIED 1777.<\/p>\n
