Description

Celebrate July 4th at Minute Man! Join park rangers and volunteers as we mark the 245th anniversary of our nation's independence with a live, in-person reading of the Declaration of Independence at Concord's North Bridge. Following the reading, reenactors representing the 10th Massachusetts Regiment will fire three musket volleys in honor of American Independence.
 
We encourage visitors to maintain six feet of distance from others and to wear a mask if social distancing is not possible.

Reservation or Registration: No
