Site of one of the bloodiest battles of April 19,1775 - the day the first shots of the American Revolution were fired. The battlefield at Foot of the Rocks was the site of the largest engagements on this historic day. While the British were retreating to Boston from their engagements at Lexington and Concord, at least two thousand British troops and a similar number of Minute Men converged and began a fire-fight here. It lasted until the British finally reached the sea at Charlestown. This small triangular park contains a stone marker and drinking fountains.
