Such amazing history
As a huge US history buff, Battle Road Trail is a must-visit. Even if you're not a huge history fan, this is a great walking trail in general. My only gripe with it is that I wish they'd had more signs with information or historical markers along the path, as you constantly walk alongside empty fields and forests without really knowing what you're looking at or whether you're still even on the Battle Road Trail. Also, be aware that the historical buildings are not open year round. For instance, we went in early May, and even then many of the buildings were closed during that time. This also meant that many of the restrooms were closed, so make sure to use the restroom beforehand.

INCREDIBLE History lesson with some excercise!
Walk out of the Minuteman Park visitor center and the historic 5 mile "Battle Road" beckons. I walked the historic road (which is actually a well worn path) each night and on one occasion went about 4 miles out and 4 miles back to the parking lot at the visitor center). You will encounter, joggers, bikers, families, and history buffs all along the trail. Every so often you can take a break and read the historic signs along the way that talk about events that occurred only steps from where you are standing. This trail is one of the most historic American war trails in all of the USA and our freedom and future depended on the initial actions that took place on this road/trail. FASCINATING and FREE!
