Description:
First go to the visitor’s center and watch their half an hour presentation called The Road to Revolution. That will give you a good perspective of the relationship between the area and the events this park commemorates. Upon the advice of a ranger, we went up the road to Hartwell Tavern, a few miles up the road. Here we got to see a musket demonstration with an explanation of how the muskets were fired. Right by Hartwell Tavern is the road which the British used to march to Concord and get attacked on the way back. It looks both interesting and walkable, but unfortunately we did not have the time to walk it. My review on TripAdvisor
