A very nice historical walk. A must not miss that we visited along with the North Bridge. On a nice cool day this is a nice flat trail with stops along the way.Probably took us a couple of hours
-
Awesome time with family, boys learning how to be minute men and shoot/hold a musket at the Hartwell Tavern. NPS does an awesome job!

Well-signed, great for walking or bicycling on the packed dirt road. Combine this with a visit to the Minute Man Visitor Center for a well-done multimedia production.

Walk out of the Minuteman Park visitor center and the historic 5 mile "Battle Road" beckons. I walked the historic road (which is actually a well worn path) each night and on one occasion went about 4 miles out and 4 miles back to the parking lot at the visitor center). You will encounter, joggers, bikers, families, and history buffs all along the trail. Every so often you can take a break and read the historic signs along the way that talk about events that occurred only steps from where you are standing. This trail is one of the most historic American war trails in all of the USA and our freedom and future depended on the initial actions that took place on this road/trail. FASCINATING and FREE!

While it was a privilege to walk on such an important trail, because I left our vehicle at one of the NPS's visitors center, I left my family to go back and get it. Because I wasn't closely paying attention, even though I stayed on the trail, I got lost. My advice: closely watch the signs and don't get too lost in history.

The trail itself sometimes follows the old road network, but the real stars of the show are the beautifully restored old buildings. The Park Service sometimes has reenactments of the events of 1775 and colonial life, many of which are very good.

This is the Route 2-A "campus" of the Minute Man National Historic Park. To understand the events that transpired here it is a good idea to also visit the Liberty Street "campus". Before you leave this site be sure to see the site where Paul revere was captured by the British before he reached Concord - a great example of "spinning" the facts to make a good story - in this case a poem.You may also want to see my review of the Liberty Street "campus' of the Park'

Biked the Battle Road Trail this weekend and really enjoyed it. Any average cyclist with the correct bike can do this. There are a few soft sandy parts and inclines/declines but overall the trail is hard compact dirt or crushed gravel. You will be biking through history which is very unique and can stop along the way at the interpretive signs. You will bike past historical homes, old foundations, grave markers, and through pristine farmland, woods and battle fields. It was a beautiful spring day in New England and fairly busy on the trail with bikers, walkers and baby strollers galore. I can see this trail becoming quite busy. If a visit can be arranged during the week, it would be worth the effort.

At the Minuteman Visitor Center, they show a ~15-20 min video that is great to tell you the history of Paul Revere's ride, the "Shot Heard Round the World," and so on. We loved being able to walk down the dirt road where so much history happened. There are several signs along the way as well that let you know what happened, and the cell-phone audio tour adds a little something extra (it's free). We didn't walk the entire trail but would park and walk to something then come back to the car and drive to the next parking area. We loved it!

This is a great place to take a relaxing stroll or a jog. Careful though, I was stung by a bee! When the runners jog by they rattle the bridges going over the swamps and bother the bees nests underneath them. Don't walk by when they're aggrivated! It's great that they have signs walking you through the history of the trail, but it's long, we didn't walk through the whole thing.
