Visit a minute company in an encampment outside the Concord Museum on Patriots’ Day and see them prepare for battle! Then, visit our April 19th galleries to see objects from the real battle.

“I haven’t a man who is afraid to go!” The Acton Minutemen mustered and marched to the North Bridge on the morning of April 19, 1775 where, under the leadership of Captain Isaac Davis, were first in line of 450 Provincials who advanced on the British Regulars.

Both Provincials who died at the North Bridge – Isaac Davis and Abner Hosmer – were Acton Minutemen.
