Get ready to roll down the Minute Man Bikeway. This scenic bike ride travels through the area where the American Revolution began in 1775. Aside from biking, the recreation path welcomes walking, skating, and jogging. If you travel the whole bikeway, you'll pass through four communities: Bedford, Lexington, Arlington, and Cambridge.
Spend some time hanging out in the country's oldest park. The 50-acre Boston Common is the anchor for the Emerald Necklace park system and is the starting place of the famous Freedom Trail. There are quite a few monuments throughout the park, and several outdoor events take place in the Common throughout the year.
Watch the opening battle of the American Revolution take place right before your eyes at Minute Man National Historical Park. This hallowed ground is where the war began and where it is relived through reenactments. These demonstrations aren't the only things to do at the park though; explore the visitors center, walk down Battle Road Trail, check out the Hartwell Tavern and The Wayside and other park attractions.
