Concord Bridge and Lexington Green are preserved as battlefield monument parks and they do a re-enactment at Concord bridge on the anniversary of the battle every year. To get the total experience though you have to hike in the seven miles to the bridge from Acton along with the Acton Minutemen.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
