Historic home that is a museum. Reenactors give talks and shoot muskets. I come for the walking trails that are wide and well maintained. Parking area near Hartwell tavern is the best one along Minute Man park. Bathrooms. Go for a run. Walk your dog or picnic with your kids.

This is such a beautiful old building with so much history. A short walk from the parking lot right along the walking path.

I had the most wonderful time at Hartwell Tavern! The Rangers were so informative and passionate about history, really inspiring for a fellow history lover like me. I would especially like to thank Josh for being so kind, answering all of our questions and being a really wonderful guide. ? I absolutely recommend visiting and would love to come back once we move from NZ back to the USA!

Nice museum. They try to preserve the original building that was there at the time of the battle of Lexington and Concord and do a good job at it.The real treasure of this place are the workers-guides. Amazing people, open to deep conversations, very much versed in the history of the time. We enjoyed this tremendously.Good experience for kids as well. They have musket firing demonstrations and group tours, but you'll get a better experience talking to the guides individually after the group lecture.

The battles of Lexington and Concord took form before dawn on April 19, 1775. Soldiers passed by the tavern on their way to Concord, and again on their way back to Boston. Three of the Hartwells' children — Samuel, John and Isaac — were in the Lincoln minutemen that fought at Old North Bridge and on the battle road. All three later served in the Revolutionary War.[1]Paul Revere and William Dawes were detained by a British Army patrol nearby during the "Midnight Ride" to Concord of April 18. Samuel Prescott, who was also riding with them, escaped by jumping his horse over a wall and into the woods. Prescott emerged at the Hartwell Tavern, awakened Ephraim and informed him of the pending arrival of the British soldiers.[8] Ephraim sent his black slave, Violet, down the road to alert his son and his family. Mary then relayed the message to Captain William Smith, commanding officer of the Lincoln minutemen,[9] who lived a little to the west and whose home still stands along Battle Road. The minutemen received the notice in time, and arrived at Old North Bridge before their enemy.[1] Prescott made it to Concord.[

It was a nice experience to see what colonial life looks like. There were actors that dress like people from the past to explain what life is like. Definitely at educational experience for kids and adults but especially middle schoolers starting to study the American Revolution.
