Annually on April 19, the Sudbury Companies of Militia and Minute march through Wayland, Massachusetts. This event reenacts and commemorates the mission of our forefathers who did the same on April 19, 1775, at the start of the American Revolution. At that time, Wayland was a part of Sudbury and home to one of the Sudbury Companies of Militia & Minutes, the East Company.

The Sudbury Companies march through Wayland starting at 3:45 am by the First Parish Church (Wayland Center) stopping for commemorative salutes at Grout-Heard House and North Cemetery and end with a salute at the Olde East Company Training Field. Then, the company leapfrogs to Old Sudbury Center to ready for the next leg, the Sudbury March.

The Sudbury Companies welcome participants and onlookers on this most hallowed day, Patriots´ Day. Please contact us if interested. Review our history for Sudbury Companie’s role on April 19, 1775.
