About Minute Man National Historical Park
This park in Lexington, Lincoln and Concord preserves the ground where the Revolution began on April 19, 1775. You can walk the five-mile Battle Road Trail through fields, wetlands and forest, stop at Hartwell Tavern, and cross the North Bridge beside Daniel Chester French's Minute Man statue. The North Bridge Visitor Center, in a 1911 brick mansion, displays the Hancock cannon. The Wayside, once home to Louisa May Alcott and Nathaniel Hawthorne, is also part of the park.
