On April 19th, 1775, the Lincoln Minute Men responded to Paul Revere`s alarm and marched to Concord in defense of self-government. Today, The Town of Lincoln enjoys a special place of honor in the history of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The homes of Lincoln’s Captain, William Smith, and the Hartwell Tavern have been restored and are preserved along the original Battle Road in Lincoln as part of Minute Man National Historical Park.

With the support of the Lincoln Cultural Council and in partnership with The Minute Man National Historical Park, the modern Lincoln Minute Men present a living history where their ancestors lived and fought a desperate battle against British regulars.

Activities will include drill and musket firing demonstrations, fife and drum music, tavern life, period crafts, children’s games, drill with wooden muskets, and cooking as well as tours of the Captain William Smith House and the ‘Bloody Angle’ where the Lincoln Minute Men had taken part in an ambush on the British column on April 19, 1775.

Admission is free. The public is encouraged to bring a blanket, a picnic lunch, and their tri-cornered hat, and enjoy an afternoon of colonial life in the Park.
