Description

When fighting erupted on April 19, 1775, it spread along 18 miles of road from Concord to Boston and included nearly 6,000 participants. Join a National Park Ranger for an interactive overview program that explores the story of the midnight alarm riders and the brutal fighting along the battle road! Participate in the action as you build a map of the story using simple props.  This program is perfect for first-time visitors and those wanting a better understanding of the historic events.
