"Lexington Common — First Shots Fired" 250th Anniversary Limited edition framed print

Place your order this year to receive it stamped with our exclusive "250th Anniversary First Shots Fired – The American Revolution" mark.

The latest in our series of framed limited edition prints celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation.

We started the series with The Boston Tea Party in 2023, followed by The First Continental Congress at Carpenter's Hall last year.

This year's framed print recognizes the 250th anniversary of the first shots fired on April 19, 1775 at Lexington Common.

• Screen printed and limited to 75 prints. 
• Signed and numbered by the artist, Larry Stuart.
  
• Made in America, including the printing and the frame and glazing, and of course designed in America and shipped from right here in New England.
• Purchasers have the first opportunity to get the next year's print. We'll print 75 of the 2025 print, 76 of the 2026 print, and so on.  
  

And we won't stop in 2026. We will continue through the Revolution. After all, we needed to not just declare independence but win our independence, and our annual prints will mark one historic event each year.
