This detailed exhibit in a historic mill examines the roadway stretching from the Foot of the Rocks east to Spy Pond that saw the day’s worst fighting and many deaths on both sides. The exhibit sheds welcome light on the diverse people who fought and lived through that historic day that took place amidst their farms, stores, and homes. Known today as Massachusetts Avenue, Battle Road was the route traversed by some 2,000 British regulars marching to Concord and back again on April 19, 1775, sparking the start of the American Revolution.
