On April 19, 1775, colonists stood together and risked their lives to defend their rights. Their farmsteads, orchards, and town greens became battlefields in a conflict that led to the founding of our nation. Today, Minute Man National Historical Park preserves and interprets the real places in Lexington and Concord where the events of that fateful day unfolded. Lou Sideris, Chief of Planning and Communications at Minute Man National Historical Park, will explore the ongoing efforts of the Park and its many partners to restore this historic landscape and its sense of “sacred space.”
