about Hartwell Tavern:

Hartwell Tavern is an authentic period home, a tangible reminder of how people lived in this area at the outbreak of the American Revolution. The home of Ephraim and Elizabeth Hartwell and their children was not only a prosperous farm, but also operated as a tavern. The structure played a significant role as a landmark in the community as travelers to and from Boston stopped and shared the latest news and discussed important issues of the day.

Today, Hartwell Tavern is staffed by Park Rangers and volunteers dressed in period clothing. Through a number of special programs, they demonstrate colonial activities and provide insight into the lives of the people who lived along the Battle Road. Kids are sure to enjoy "Who Were the Minute Men?" which includes a musket firing demonstration.

The Hartwell Tavern is part of the Minute Man National Historical Park.

From Route 2 W, take I-95 North. Proceed to Exit 30B. You will be on Route 2A West. After passing the Minute Man Visitor Center, travel through one blinking light. Approximately 1/4 mile on your right is the Hartwell parking area.
