Archeological Investigations of Minute Man National Historical Park Volume 2: An Estimation Approach to Prehistoric Sites

Summary

Minute Man National Historical Park (MIMA) is located about 12 miles (19.2 km) west of Boston in the towns of Concord, Lincoln, and Lexington, Massachusetts (Figures 1-1, 1-2). The park consists of about 750 acres and is divided into three separate parcels. The North Bridge parcel is located just north of the center of Concord along the Concord River, the Wayside parcel is a small area along Lexington Road east of Concord center and the remainder of the park extends for four miles from Meriam's Corner in Concord to Fiske Hill in Lexington (Figure 1-3). The park was established in 1959 by an Act of Congress on the recommendation of the Boston National Historic Sites Commission to preserve sections of the Lexington-Concord Battle Ground and associated structures, properties and sites to increase public understanding and appreciation of the start of the American Revolution (National Park Service 1963:1).
