Minuteman National Park

Another historical site we saw this weekend was the Minuteman National Park. The park is located 22 miles outside of Boston within the towns of Lexington, Lincoln and Concord, Massachusetts. It commemorates the opening battles of the American Revolution on April 19, 1775 by protecting, preserving and interpreting the significant historic sites, structures, landscapes, events and ideas embodied by these events.  There are many sites along the trail that encompasses much of the start of revolution from where Paul Revere was captured to Colonial Smith's home.  It's amazing that everything began here.

Since it's so long we didn't get to do all of it, made it about half way before we turned back.  We are hoping to finish on July 4th.  Another patriotic holiday, do you see a theme:)
