Minute Man NHP 50th Anniversary

"HONORING THE PAST; INSPIRING THE  FUTURE"
On September 21, 1959, Congress established Minute Man National Historical Park to preserve important sites associated with the opening battle of the American Revolution; a battle that led to the creation of this country. It was here that the "shot heard ‘round the world" was fired, igniting a flame of liberty that still burns brightly in the hearts of freedom loving people around the world. This year is the park’s Fiftieth Anniversary. From April through September of 2009 there will be a series of special events (including lectures, scholars forums, living history demonstrations, Ranger led walks, concerts, and historical house "open houses") designed to serve 1.2 million park visitors, to engage youth and families and to attract new and diverse audiences. Information about 50th Annivesary events is available in our Park News page.
