Minute Man National Historical Park in Massachusetts, USA, commemorates the opening battles of the American Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775. The park preserves important sites such as the North Bridge in Concord, where the "shot heard 'round the world" was fired, and the five-mile Battle Road Trail, which follows the route taken by British and Colonial soldiers. Visitors can explore restored colonial homes, witness living history demonstrations, and learn about the events that ignited the struggle for American independence.
