This was one of the best things on my recent visit to New England. Visiting the sights along this road were chilling and exciting at the same time. To see where our independence and freedom started was amazing. more

One of the best parts of this park is the visitor center which includes a fantastic multimedia theater program of the story of Lexington and Concord.
