a walking/cycling trail has been upgraded, in sections, over the past 5 years. Take a walk through the history of 1775, enjoy the birds and flowers, and stop at the historic houses along the route. A few even have living history tourguides! More

Several mile path takes you down Battle Road with monuments about where the American Revolution Started. One section is the place where Paul Revere's Midnight Ride was halted. Good for runners/walkers and you learn something as well. More
