The cradle of the American Revolution, this park must be great in the summer, since even covered with snow it really is beautiful. Walking the icy paths was challenging while we tried to navigate it but on the positive side there was not a lot of visitors. Don't miss the grave stone of the fallen British soldiers next to the obelisk.…

And there, standing on a pillar was the Minute Man Statue overseeing the grounds. Unveiled for the centennial celebration of the battle on April 19, 1875, The Minute Man statue, by sculptor Daniel Chester French, is an American icon and has stood guard over this hallowed ground ever since. It is set near the spot where the first colonial militiamen were killed near the town of Concord on that fateful day in 1775. One hundred yards further along the walkway is the Old North Bridge (or at least it is the fifth iteration of the original). The significance of the historic events at the North Bridge inspired Ralph Waldo Emerson to refer to the moment as the "shot heard round the world," which we memorized in the eighth grade. …

We stopped here after visiting Lexington. The park is separated into two different parts, the battle road and the bridge. Walking trails are flat and easy. This is a must see for American history.
