It is widely believed that the Liberty Bell was rung to mark the adoption of the Declaration of Independence #OnThisDay, July 8, 1776.

The bald eagle almost disappeared from the lower 48.

Now it’s one of the greatest wildlife comebacks in American history.

America's 250th birthday hits different when you remember that.

"The Minute Man" by Daniel Chester French at the North Bridge was meant to represent the typical provincial but was also inspired in large part by the story of Capt. Isaac Davis of Acton who died where the statue now stands. It is inscribed with verse from Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Concord Hymn".

At Minute Man National Historical Park, you can stand on the very ground where the American Revolution began, where men fired the famous “shot heard 'round the world” 251 years ago today.

The park honors the everyday people who lived through extraordinary times defending their ideals of liberty and self-determination. A nation was being born, and they lit the spark.

From the steeple of Old North Church in Boston, two lanterns signaled that British troops were on the move.

Paul Revere rode more than 12 miles, alerting a network of riders and local leaders who mobilized the militia at Lexington and Concord.

While several riders played roles that night, Revere’s swift warning became a symbol of American resistance and helped spark the first battles of the Revolutionary War. 🐎

This week in military history: The original early warning network.

Midnight riders delivered the intelligence that ignited a revolution at Lexington and Concord.

We proved then what remains true today: we will not be trifled with.

For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee! #Emerson #Thanksgiving

The nest is bustling with life. Two eaglets at the @USFWS National Conservation Training Center in West Virginia are thriving thanks to nonstop meals from their devoted parents, Bella and Scout. 🦅🦅
