Patriot’s Day Spirit at Faulkner Homestead
Apr 18 @ 12:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Join us at the Faulkner Homestead in South Acton from 12:00 – 4:00 and then again from 5:00 – 6:30.
Starting at noon, travel back in time with the Iron Work Farm to Col. Francis Faulkner’s homestead on the first day of the American Revolution, when Acton’s West Militia gathered there to march to the Concord Bridge.
In the dooryard, families cooked food to be taken to the men later that day. Experience authentic colonial foods, play games on the lawn, and meet with local reenactors.
Then come back by 5:40, when the Acton Minutemen will reenact the arrival of the alarm rider bringing news of the British marching on Concord.
Parking is available on nearby public lots.
