250+1st Battle Road Anniversary

Three historic houses are open to the public today and commemorative events at four locations.
Calendar - Minute Man National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service)
This is a combined event for both Walking and Exploring groups.
We'll walk the East half of the battle road trail from the old Hartwell Tavern to the Visitor's Center. Less than a 4-mile walk (out and back) at Minuteman National Park in Lincoln. The trail is a well-maintained crushed stone surface about 8-10 feet wide. We will start walking at 10:10 am.

Bring a sandwich, beverage and folding chair, if you wish, for the end of the walk near the Hartwell Tavern premises. The trail is only about 200 feet through the woods from the cars.
