We went for the Patriot weekend reenactment of the battle and we were taken into the excitement and felt as though we were reliving the event. The dedication of the reenactors is amazing. Loved it! More

There were a number of historical items I did not know while touring the Battle Road and it is a fun walk through Revolutionary War history. There are also guided tours through the Battle Road once a month from the summer through October. More

Too fast, best if one does it on they're own if not physically fit. Great guided hike if one wants to take it and it's free. More

There are just enough small signs and historical artifacts along this well-marked trail, some of which is a slightly-elevated boardwalk, to keep you focused on how little some things have changed since revolutionary times. A quick tour through history, and on a good day, a lovely walk in a very pretty area. More

This trail is full of amazing locations with significant events from colonial history. Want to see where Paul Revere was captured? You'll find it here. Well-worth the time to walk the entirety of it, but bring some water and snacks. More

This is a scenic drive to love. It gives you a sense of just how long it would take the British to get back to Boston. More

The National Park Service looks after the 5.5 mile trail. The multimedia presentation in the Visitor Center is free and very well done. The bookstore has numerous souveniers, toys, cds and books pertaining to the start of the Revolution. If you can visit in the third weekend in April, you will be able to see a running battle performed by... More
