LEXINGTON, MA—Minute Man National Historical Park is the site of an event which sparked the start of our great nation, and now is your opportunity to give back.

Minuteman National Historical Park is in the running for a grant $250,000 from Partners in Preservation, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and National Geographic which will help the park receive some much-needed rehabilitation. The grant is currently set to revitalize Parker's Revenge to reveal original battlefield features, and to repurpose Hargrove Barn for use as an educational center.
