On this beautiful mid-autumn day we as a family visited Minuteman park while exploring Concord and Lexington. You can picture yourself there as a man from England or a farmer from Concord in those days. The grave of British soldiers was humbling as you can imagine the events of that fateful day.…

It is interesting to be in the spot where the shot heard round the world happened. History is explained through a nearby recording box. If you are a history buff, this is a must see.

Driving into Concord, you come to Minuteman National Park on route 2A. We decided to stop in, going into the entrance at the New Visitor Center.

And as an older couple, we were not desiring to walk around the park. But I will say it is a beautiful area and being free, worth the time to stop and learn and appreciate how blessed we are to live in a country where we benefit from the sacrifices of those who have gone before us. …

I'd love to go back when spring really pops to see the amazing flowers/plants that adorn the area. This is a must-visit site to reflect on the Battle of Concord. Park rangers offer guided tours that might interest you. Take them up on it and you will learn a lot.
