The poem on the statue is a verse from "The Concord Hymn", not by Longfellow, but by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Col. Barrett's house is about a mile or so further from the bridge.
The house up on the hill overlooking the bridge is the Stedman Buttrick House, built in 1911. No colonial supplies there in 1775.

@95thFoot Absolutely correct regarding the writer of the words engraved on the obelisk! In my unrehearsed narration when shooting the video, I muddled this piece with Longfellow's Paul Revere's Ride. Mea culpa.
