How Did We Get Here?
As we celebrate the Semiquincentennial—the 250th anniversary of American independence—it is fitting to look back at the modern-day Concord Minute Men, trace our course as a volunteer civic organization, and cast our eyes to the future.
Belonging to The Concord Minute Men has long been a sought-after way for citizens to honor their heritage and give back to the community. Fathers and sons, brothers, friends, and now whole families have “enlisted” together. Chartered in 1962 and first meeting formally in 1963, the Company reached 253 members during America’s Bicentennial in 1976.
New recruiting revived the Company, expanded the Fife & Drum Corps, and welcomed women into its ranks.
Why Be a Concord Minute Man?
Members share an interest in history, military matters, philosophy, arts, and humanities; meet visitors from around the world; educate students of all ages; and enjoy serving together.
What Do We Do?
The Fife & Drum Corps practices most Tuesdays. No musical experience is required, and our musicians are happy to teach.
Musketbearers train in the 1764 Manual of Arms with consistent safety protocols that prepare members for special events and reenactments.
A Sampling of Our Activities
- Patriots’ Day Dawn Salute and Parade
- Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day ceremonies
- School history presentations

What Do I Wear?
The Company can recommend historical outfitters and suppliers so an appropriate kit can be assembled quickly and at reasonable cost.
