Bang, bang! Where was the "shot heard round the world" fired?

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood/Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled/Here once the embattled farmers stood/And fired the shot heard round the world.” Taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Concord Hymn," the “shot heard round the world” was fired on April 19, 1775, when 70 minutemen were at the village green in Lexington to meet the British marching toward Concord. The first shot was fired (by which side, no one knows), and the rest is history.
