The Friends Welcome a New Executive Director
The Friends of Minute Man National Park welcomed Kathleen Fahey as their Executive Director this summer. Kathleen has over 20 years of experience as an administrator and curator at local historical organizations such as the Bedford Historical Society, Wellesley Historical Society and Mount Auburn Cemetery. “ I’m very excited to join the Friends in supporting the work of the Minute Man National Park. The Park celebrates important moments and movements in American history; the opening battles of the America Revolution and Concord’s authors. It's an honor to work in this exciting and historical space."

Kathleen works part time at the North Bridge Visitor Center and can be reached at director@friendsofminuteman.org or at 978-318-7822.
