Join us for an event focusing on the Minute Men of the Civil War. Drop in to view artifacts and uniforms, experience a musket firing demonstration, and attend ranger talks at this day-long program.
On April 19, 1861, the 6th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia (Minute Men) came under attack by a secessionist mob while transferring trains in Baltimore, Maryland. In a brutal melee, the secessionists killed five militiamen and wounded 36 others. Overall, the battle resulted in the death of twelve Baltimoreans. These casualties are often cited as the first combat casualties of the American Civil War.
As we launch into the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, Minute Man National Historical Park is working on programs that not only tell the story of the Revolution but also how it impacted the development of the United States.
