Join the Acton Minutemen as they commemorate the heroic ride of the thirteen year old son of Captain Joseph Robbins, one of Acton\u2019s militia leaders, in the early morning hours of April 19th, 1775. Click here to learn more about this story!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ceremonies and fire musket vollies are held at each of the four stops, and at the Faulkner Homestead<\/a> in South Acton, Faulkner himself stumbles out in his nightclothes and manages (hopefully) to fire his musket 3 times to spread the alarm to his troops, whereupon the volley is echoed by another musket some distance away, followed by yet another even further off, demonstrating how the alarm was spread across town.<\/p>\n

Please\u00a0 join us for this annual event held on the Sunday of Patriots’ Day weekend! Here is the preliminary schedule of the stops the rider makes:<\/p>\n

5:00 pm at the Robbins\u2019 Homesite \u2013 soccer fields at bottom of Concord Road<\/p>\n

5:20\u00a0at the Isaac Davis Homestead \u2013 39 Hayward Road<\/p>\n

5:40\u00a0at the Faulkner Homestead \u2013 5 High Street in So. Acton (corner of Rte. 27)<\/p>\n

5:55 at the Liberty Tree Farm \u2013 24 Liberty Street, also in So. Acton<\/p>\n
