Line of the Minutemen

1625 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA

Sited on the northwest corner of Lexington Green to commemorate the beginning of the Battle of Lexington in 1775, the Line of the Minutemen is inscribed with the famous quote attributed to Captain John Parker himself, which reads:

Stand your ground
Don’t fire unless fired upon
But if they mean to have a war
Let it begin here
