Minute Man National Historical Park
Located within the towns of Lexington, Lincoln, and Concord, Massachusetts, Minute Man National Historical Park preserves and interprets historic structures and landscapes associated with the battle that began the American Revolution on April 19, 1775. Colonists took up arms to defend their rights and clashed with British Regulars, igniting a war that would lead to the creation of an independent nation. Today, the park is a global symbol of a universal struggle for liberty.
The park includes the North Bridge, site of "the shot heard round the World;" the Minute Man Statue; and the first four miles of the Battle Road. The five-mile Battle Road Trail connects many park sites. The National Park Service also preserves The Wayside, where 19th-century authors kept the spirit of the Revolution alive by contributing to the creation of a uniquely American literature.
Eastern National offers the popular Passport to Your National Parks® program, which allows visitors to collect ink stamps from different national park sites in a guidebook to commemorate their travels. While they sell this guidebook and other related items, Eastern National does not sell patches in the way most people think of embroidered patches, but rather they sell stickers that can go in the passport books or be placed on other items.
