Elisha Jones (bullet hole) House

The legend of “The Bullet- Hole House” has existed from at least the mid 1800s, and was purportedly part of Jones family lore since April 19, 1775. According to the account during the battle at the North Bridge in Concord, Elisha Jones remained at his house protecting his family and some stores of the Provincial Congress entrusted to him. As the British retreated from the North Bridge, Elisha Jones stood watching from the doorway of his shed. One of the British Rear Guard allegedly did not like Jones’s look and took a shot at him. The shot pierced the side of the shed to the right of the doorway. The hole made in the side of the shed can still be seen.
