Travel back in time with the Iron Work Farm to share the experience of two generations of Col. Francis Faulkner’s family on the first day of the American Revolution, when Acton’s West Militia marched from the Faulkner house to the Concord Bridge.
After the men left, the women and children gathered in the dooryard to cook food to be taken on horseback to them later in the day. Come experience the virtues of authentic foods, join in colonial games on the lawn, tour the house (the oldest in Acton!), and meet the Acton Minutemen!
The Minutemen will be drilling on the lawn during the afternoon, and then return about 5:45 with the alarm rider bringing the news to Col. Faulkner of the British marching on Concord.
Parking is available on nearby public lots. www.ironworkfarm.org.
