Captain David Brown’s company—a group of Concord Minute Men who fought at the North Bridge in 1775—assembles on the lawn of the Museum from 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 15. (Address: 53 Cambridge Turnpike, Concord, MA 01742)

Visit with the Company, watch musket demonstrations, cartridge rolling, cooking, and other preparations for battle, and learn about militia duty in colonial Massachusetts and what it meant to be “armed as according to law.”

Then, join the company at the historic Wright Tavern in Concord Center from 3:00-5:00 p.m. The tavern was the site where many minute men met on the morning of April 19 as they prepared for battle. (Address: 2 Lexington Road, Concord, MA 01742)

Via MBTA
Take the Red Line train to the Porter Square stop. At Porter Square, take the Fitchburg commuter rail to Concord station. The Museum is a one-mile walk from the Concord train station. Once you have exited the station, cross the street at the intersection as if you are going to the Mobil Station (Sudbury Road). Then turn left and continue down Sudbury Road until you reach Main Street. Continue onto Main Street and go straight through town, approximately 2 blocks, until you reach the rotary at the Town Green. At the rotary, bear right onto Lexington Road (the large white Unitarian Universalist Church will be on your right; the Colonial Inn will be at your back). The Museum is 1/3 of a mile down between the fork in the road. Bear right onto Cambridge Turnpike for the Museum entrance.
