Alt Text Map of Minute Man National Historical Park in Massachusetts. Sites cluster mostly in a band across the middle of this map. The park is shown in olive green and the surrounding areas in khaki brown. Extended Description A callout box for the Minute Man Visitor Center about three-quarters of the way across the map has a note reading “Begin visit here.” Following that recommendation, this description will start at the east end of the Minute Man National Historical Park and work west. Then the surrounding areas and sites will be described before a full transcription of the legend. Minute Man National Historical Park Represented as a mustard-brown line, Massachusetts Avenue winds from the bottom right corner of the map up and through the park. A dashed green line representing the Battle Road Trail overlays Massachusetts Avenue starting near the Ebenezer Fiske House Site at Fiske Hill. Parking is available and there is an MBTA stop in this area. The trail and road travel west to pass The Bluff and Jacob Whittemore House, which is open to the public, before arriving at the visitor center. The trail and road continue past Parkers Revenge, the Thomas Nelson, Jr. House Site, parking, Josiah Nelson House Site, John Nelson House, which is closed to the public, and more parking near the Paul Revere Capture Site, which falls about halfway across the park. Massachusetts Avenue jogs northwest to pass the Captain William Smith House, open to the public, parking, Samuel Hartwell House Site, and Hartwell Tavern, also open to the public, before turning southwest at Bloody Angle and a gate. North Great Road branches off of Massachusetts Avenue to the south and passes a ranger station and restrooms before rejoining Massachusetts Avenue just after the gate. The Battle Road Trail flares slightly north of the road at Bloody Angle and runs roughly parallel to the road until the western edge of the park. All of the sites in this final leg are closed to the public except the Meriam House, near the end. This section includes the Joshua Brooks House, Job Brooks House, Brooks Village, which has parking, Noah Brooks Tavern, Samuel Brooks House, Brooks Hill, Olive Stow House, Farwell Jones House, Carty Barn, Battle Road Farms, parking, Meriam House, which has restrooms, and Meriam’s Corner. Around the Park Massachusetts Avenue has become Lexington Road, which continues west out of the park to Concord. Starting in the upper left corner of the map and moving clockwise, sites around Concord include the Colonel Barrett House, closed to the public, on Barretts Mill Road, which cuts through a green area. At noon, another green area is tucked between the V made by Lowell Road and Monument Street. Sites here include the North Bridge Visitor Center near North Bridge, Old Manse, which has parking, Robbins-Hutchinson House, Minute Man Statue, which are all open to the public. Sites closed to the public in this area include the Major John Buttrick House and Elisha Jones House. Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is beyond this park at one o’clock and at two, Bedford Street/State Route 62 leads northeast to a note reading Monson Road to Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Wright Tavern, closed to the public, is at the center of Concord. Moving west from this area are the Emerson House, Concord Museum, Orchard House, parking, and The Wayside between three and four o’clock and all open to the public. The Concord Turnpike/State Route 2A runs east-west under Concord toward the Minute Man National Historical Park. South of that are Flints Pond (Sandy Pond), the DeCordova Museum, Walden Pond State Reservation, which has parking, Walden Pond, the Site of Thoreau’s Cabin, and Gropius House, which is open to the public, are between four and six. The MBTA Fitchburg Commuter Rail runs just west of the Gropius House up into Concord to the Concord Depot MBTA stop at seven o’clock before the rail turns west to cross the South Bridge at nine o’clock. Main Street leads from Wright Tavern westward to pass the Concord Free Public Library, also at nine o’clock. Now traveling east out of the park, Massachusetts Avenue cuts through Lexington to pass the Lexington Green, Captain Parker Statue, Buckman Tavern, which is open to the public, and the Lexington Visitor Center Chamber of Commerce near the center of town. Massachusetts Avenue, now also labeled State Routes 4 and 225, turns southeast to pass Munroe Tavern, open to the public, as well as the National Heritage Museum before continuing off the bottom right corner of the map near a note reading “To Arlington (Menotomy) and the Jason Russell House.” The Minuteman Bikeway runs parallel to Massachusetts Avenue until it reaches Buckman Tavern, where it angles northwest to pass Interstate 95/State Route 128. A note where Interstate 95 stretches off the bottom edge of the map near Cambridge Reservoir reads “To Massachusetts Turnpike and South Shore.” Interstate angles northeast past the Minuteman Bikeway to travel “To Salem and North Shore” at the top right corner of the map. Legend A legend in the lower right corner reads as follows: Green for National Park area, Black square for Historic site open to the public, Black square outline for Historic site closed to the public, Thick mustard-brown line for Historic route of Battle Road, Green dashed line for Battle Road Trail, and Black dashed line for Walking Trail. A column of symbols represent Designated parking area, Restrooms, Ranger station, and MBTA stop.
