Patriots’ Day 2023

Thank you to all the staff, volunteers, reenactors, donors, and sponsors who made Patriots’ Day 2023 a success! 

Thousands of visitors joined in the week-long festivities. We watched the colonial militia engage the British troops along Battle Road, welcomed visitors into the Barrett House, braved the rain at the North Bridge Battle Commemoration, and solemnly lit our candles at the Patriot Vigil. The five-mile Battle Road hike, which allowed participants to follow in the footsteps of the ill-fated British Column, was enjoyed by a sell-out crowd.

But most importantly, we were grateful for the opportunity to gather for this cherished holiday and commemorate the first battles of the American Revolution.
