An underpass of this road is being planned. Near here is the site of Parker s Revenge. Captain Parker led the Lexington Militia in an attack on the British column, in retaliation for colonial deaths incurred earlier that morning on Lexington Green. Walk, bicycle, or use a wheelchair. Because the Battle Road Trail is primarily an educational trail, it is not suitable for high speed bicycling.
Bicycles share the trail with pedestrians, wheelchairs, and children in strollers.
If you do not wish to hike on the trail, you can stop at two key points, the Paul Revere Capture Site and the Hartwell Tavern Historical Area . To drive to these points, turn right out of the Minute Man Visitor Center Parking Area. You will be on Route 2A west. Take the next available right turn into the Paul Revere Capture Site parking area. Leaving this parking lot, turn right.
