Join Us for Patriots' Day at Minute Man | |
We look forward to Patriots' Day every year, but this year there is a special sense of excitement as we inch closer to the 250th anniversary of April 19, 1775, in 2025. Please join us as hundreds of reenactors, volunteers, and staff come together for Patriots' Day and bring history to life at Minute Man National Historical Park.
Minute Man National Historical Park and the Friends of Minute Man are proud to offer time-honored Patriots' Day events co-sponsored by Tauck, Tough Ruck, Freedom's Way National Heritage Area, and Middlesex Savings Bank and supported by the Mass Cultural Council.
We hope to see you at Patriots' Day 2024 events! Don't forget to visit the Friends of Minute Man tent and receive a free sticker with our new 250th logo (above). As always, Patriots' Day events at Minute Man National Historical Park are free and open to the public.
