The obelisk marker is the spot where the Colonials held off the British as they marched from Lexington to Concord - this is where the British turned around and went back to Boston, and is the location of "the shot heard round the world" from the poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
On our way up the trail from the marker to the the visitor's center, we found an awesome climbing tree, so we took a break.
My brother's kids kind of wandered around. This is how we do visitors centers: the Junior Ranger books!
There was book where you could write your thoughts about our country. Even when you're only four, you can still be patriotic!
