Description

At 2:45 PM, the Lincoln Company of Minute Men will assemble at the Battle Road Visitors Center of the Minute Man National Historical Park. From there, with flags flying and to the tune of colonial fifes and drums, the Lincoln Minute Men and their guests will march down Nelson Road, a section of the original Battle Road, to the Paul Revere Capture Site on Route 2A.

In a lively ceremony beginning at 3 PM, the Minute Men will commemorate the capture of Revere and Dawes and the escape of Samuel Prescott and give a brief historical narrative of the events and the heroism of Lincoln residents in carrying the alarm to Concord. All this will be accompanied a musket salute and by colonial music performed by the Fifes and Drums of the Lincoln Minute Men and other invited musical groups.
