    This last weekend was Patriot’s Day weekend, a three-day weekend celebrated in Massachusetts and Maine to commemorate the skirmishes in Lexington and Concord on 18 April 1775. Maine celebrates it because they were part of Massachusetts until 1820 and just carried the holiday with them. It was changed to a Monday holiday a some years back.
