The Town of Lincoln re-established its company of Minute Men in 1966, and charged them with the duty of keeping alive the history and the principles of the original Minute Men of 1775. The modern Lincoln Minute Men seek to do this in many ways, but especially in activities that will arouse the interest and enthusiasm of our young people in learning about Lincolnís glorious place in American history.

Each year the Lincoln Minute Men stage public events in April, to recall the drama of 1775. In addition, throughout the year, the Lincoln Minute Men appear as historical interpreters before hundreds of visitors, in the National Park and at Elder Hostel gatherings. And in appearances that bring the greatest pleasure and pride, the Lincoln Minute Men visit the classes of more than 500 Lincoln school children each year, to bring the Revolution alive in the classroom.

The Lincoln Minute Men are always eager to welcome new members.   No obligation is imposed, beyond a willingness to share the enjoyment of provoking smiles and questions from young and old. No skill is required, beyond knowing your left foot from your right (and the Minute Men can even teach you that, if necessary). Membership is open to all, regardless of age or gender.

The Lincoln Minute Men hold musters on the first Tuesday of each month at the historic Pierce House in Lincoln Center, from September through June, to hear guest speakers, plan events, and enjoy conversation. Dues are minimal, and a members' newsletter is published each month. To join, or for more information, please contact the Recruiter, attend a muster at the Pierce House, or write us at:
