Minute Man National Historical Park is located in Concord, Massachusetts and is dedicated to preserving the history of the American Revolution. It is the site of the first day of the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, fought on April 19, 1775. The park protects and interprets the wayside sites associated with the battle, as well as the historical landscape of the battle itself.

The park consists of three sections: the Battle Road Trail, the Minute Man Visitor Center, and the Minute Man Statue. The Battle Road Trail, which runs from Meriam's Corner in Concord to the Old North Bridge in Concord, is the core of the park and is the site of the famous “shot heard round the world.” The trail is 5 miles long and is a great way to explore the battlefield and learn more about the Revolutionary War.

The Minute Man Visitor Center, which is the main interpretive center of the park, provides visitors with exhibits and artifacts related to the battle and its participants. There is also a theater where visitors can watch a film about the battle. The Minute Man Statue, located in the center of the park, was created in 1875 by Daniel Chester French to commemorate the soldiers who fought in the battle.
