The centrepiece of the Minute Man National Park covering the historic area between Lexington and Concord known as Battle Road.
The Minute Man Visitor Centre stands at the heart of the 900-acre Minute Man National Park and is where you should begin your tour of this historic area, which is key to the origins of American Independence.
This interpretive centre includes a 30-minute presentation outlining the events leading up to the Battle of Concord & Lexington, which took place on April 19th 1775. This was the first skirmish of the War for American Independence, as British soldiers and the Minute Men of the local militia fought on Lexington Common then later beside the North Bridge in Concord. The British then beat a hasty retreat along what is known as Battle Road with the militia harassing them all the way.
The Battle Road Trail forms the heart of the national historical park, a 5 mile trail suitable for walking, cycling and wheel chairs, connected historic sites and areas of natural beauty. Along the way you can stop by the site where Paul Revere was captured by the British enroute to Concord, and Hartwell Tavern, where costumed interpreters host recreations of colonial life.
