Description
English:

A grouping of tall trees with high, leafy canopies and thick trunks grows in in an area of high grass.

View east toward the Joshua Brooks, Jr. House from the remnant orchard near Noah Brooks Tavern. Brooks Farm is part of the Battle Road Unit, preserving the sites of the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 and the events that began the Revolutionary War. The Battle Road is set within a landscape of farmhouses, barns, stone walls, fields, woodlands, and hedgerows, all remnants of the area’s agricultural past. By the mid-1900s, portions of Brooks Farm were dominated by orchards, while other areas were open lands or wooded. Fields, pastureland, and orchards were spread throughout Brooks Farm, with the orchards generally located near homesteads. As Brooks Farm was cleared of woodlands, historic field patterns and remnant orchards were uncovered. Old apple trees exist as part of a remnant orchard east of the Noah Brooks Tavern, and there are also remnant orchard trees west of the tavern.
