Additional accessible parking will be available at the Minute Man Visitor Center parking lot – 210 North Great Road in Lincoln, MA – on the park’s east end. Visitors trying to view BOTH tactical demonstrations are encouraged to park at either Minute Man High School or the Minute Man Visitor Center, then walk up to 1.7 miles to Hartwell Tavern. Following the Hartwell Tavern tactical demonstration, visitors then can walk back to the park’s east side for the Parker’s Revenge tactical demonstration. Once the first demonstration begins, parking at any lot is not guaranteed. There are NO shuttles available to transport visitors! There will be parking available at Hartwell Tavern, but that lot is expected to fill up early and quickly.
