Each year the Lincoln Minute Men stage public events in April, to recall the drama of 1775. In addition, throughout the year, the Lincoln Minute Men appear as historical interpreters before hundreds of visitors, in the National Park and at Elder Hostel gatherings. And in appearances that bring the greatest pleasure and pride, the Lincoln Minute Men visit the classes of more than 500 Lincoln school children each year, to bring the Revolution alive in the classroom. The Lincoln Minute Men are always eager to welcome new members. No obligation is imposed, beyond a willingness to share the enjoyment of provoking smiles and questions from young and old.
Membership is open to all, regardless of age or gender.
Or perhaps you would prefer to be a Friend of the Lincoln Minute Men rather than a recruit. If so, a contribution will help the Minute Men defray the costs of the uniforms, equipment, and materials needed for their educational activities each year. Paul Revere's Capture This year, in celebration of the 225th anniversary of the American Revolution, the Lincoln Minute Men will stage a reenactment of the capture of Paul Revere in Lincoln, featuring horse riders portraying Revere, Williams Dawes, and Dr. Samuel Prescott as well as a party of mounted British Red Coats in pursuit. This event will take place at the Minute Man National Historical Park , at the site of the marker commemorating Revere's capture. In a lively ceremony beginning at 3 PM, the Minute Men will reenact the capture of Revere and Dawes and the escape of Samuel Prescott and give a brief historical narrative of the events and the heroism of Lincoln residents in carrying the alarm to Concord.
