Event Description

Explore the interior of the Colonel James Barrett House an 18th century home that sits on a beautifully restored section of the actual "Battle Road." In 1774 and 1775 Colonel James Barrett collected large stockpiles of military supplies at his home and across Concord. On April 19, 1775 British soldiers march to Concord with orders to destory those supplies. 

Talk with living history interpreters about the Barrett family and the experiences of civilians during the leadup to war in 1774 and 1775.
