Join us for Park Day on Saturday April 5th and help to preserve Minute Man National Historical Park.


Volunteer tasks include the removal of invasive plants, seeding native plants, caring for orchards and stone walls, maintaining trails, removing trash, raking leaves, sweeping, or pulling weeds while learning about the Park's history and ecology from cultural and natural resource team leaders.


With the upcoming 250th Anniversary of April 19, 1775, we'll also work to clear the landscape of hazards for the hundreds of reenactors participating in April 2025 events.
