December 2023

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Thank you for your continued dedication to and support of our beautiful Minute Man National Historical Park.
As we wrap up an impressive 2023 season at the park, please consider a year-end contribution to the Friends of Minute Man annual appeal. Together, we can preserve and protect the birthplace of the American Revolution today and for generations to come.

With your support, this year, the Friends were able to:

  • Strengthen Patriots’ Day activities, including transportation and black powder for reenactors, while providing historical clothing supplies to park staff.
  • Launch Minute Man Soldier Search on our website, a database of militiamen, companies, and towns that entered the battle on April 19, 1775.
  • Purchase a hand-crafted reproduction musket for use in educational programs and firing demonstrations.
  • Fund two horticultural interns and introduce new Buttrick Garden tours.
  • Provide financial support for family events such as Hartwell Halloween and Preparing for Winter, Preparing for War.
  • Host a lecture and a book signing with Concord Historian Robert Gross.
  • Restore a historically significant flag related to The Wayside, The Home of Authors and co-sponsored a Civil War event at the site.
  • Host several popular bird walks in the park.

Park staff are actively planning for the 250th anniversary of April 19, 1775 and have crafted an ambitious slate of programs for 2024-2026. Your support is vital as we prepare to commemorate this historic anniversary together.

Join us in showing your support for the Park with a year-end donation to the Friends of Minute Man National Park today. Please give as generously as you can – $50, $100, or more goes a long way. Please use the online “donate” button or send a check made out to the “Friends of Minute Man National Park” to 174 Liberty Street, Concord, MA 01742.

We thank you for your ongoing support and wish you and your family a safe and healthy holiday season.

Sincerely,

Bob Morris
President, Friends of Minute Man National Park
