We were delighted to welcome members of the Society of the Cincinnati of France to Minute Man National Historical Park last week, accompanied by their hosts from the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati.

Founded by officers of the Continental Army following the American Revolution, the Society of the Cincinnati is an organization of descendants of those who served in the fight for American independence. It was a pleasure to host this distinguished group at the place where the Revolution began!

We enjoyed a morning bird walk at Minute Man National Historical Park, starting at Meriam’s Corner and passing by the Carty Barn, seen here. Our excellent guide, Kathy Dia, helped us to spot cormorants, raptors, mocking birds, white-throated sparrows and song sparrows.

What birds have you sighted at the park?

A special thank you to Nathaniel, who spent this fall bringing history to life at the North Bridge Visitor Center! As a reenactor with the 16th Queen’s Light Dragoons, Nathaniel has helped visitors connect with the story of British soldiers in the American Revolution.

Thanks to all who joined us for Archaeology Day at Minute Man National Historical Park. Rangers led a special battlefield tour and artist David Geister was on hand to speak about his painting of the battle at the North Bridge. A reproduction of the painting now hangs on the wall of exhibit room in the North Bridge Visitor Center. We got to see the original painting on display today as well.
