Description

The Parker's Revenge Reenactment is one of the largest of the Patriots Day events, with hundreds of reenactors, horses, lots of muskets being fired, and plenty of battle action (many of the photos of reenactors on horseback in this article were taken during this stirring event).

Relive history as you watch Lexington Minute Men gather on the Lexington Battle Green to reenact the second call to arms from Captain Parker. Hear dialogue from Reverend Jonas Clarke. The Minute Men will march to Fiske Hill before continuing on to Parker’s Revenge site in the Minute Men National Park.

Parking:  Plenty of well-marked parking is available in lots around the park, especially at the Minute Man Visitor Center Parking Lot at 210 North Great Road and Hartwell Tavern Parking Area at 112 North Great Road in Lincoln.  Park Rangers will be on hand to direct you.  The walking distance between parking near Hartwell Tavern and the Minute Man Visitor Center where the tactical demonstrations take place is about 1.5 miiles each way.  Wear sturdy walking shoes or boots.  The ground is often muddy and squishy at this time of the year.
