Menotomy Rocks Park
Landmark
A 17-acre park preserving rocky outcroppings similar to those that provided cover for colonial militia on April 19, 1775. While not a specific battle site, the terrain illustrates the landscape advantages colonists used against the British column. Hiking trails wind through the boulder-strewn woods.
