Join us for an immersive battle walk through the fighting around Elm Brook Hill on April 19, 1775. Participate in the experience as you walk the Battle Road and learn about the recent archaeological investigations that unlocked the stories of soldiers who fought and died across this battlefield.

This program will cover a loop of roughly 1 mile along the Battle Road Trail. At times it will include musket firing and require visitors to move briskly. Please bring water and study walking shoes.
