In the early hours of the morning of the Battle at Lexington, 200+ militia men from Woburn under the command of Captain Loammi Baldwin assembled at what is now Woburn Common and started to march toward Lexington. Part of the road they traversed still exists in near original condition and is about a half mile long. They were joined along the way by Woburn farmer Sylvanus Wood who lived near by. They arrived in Lexington two hours too late to be engaged in that battle. However they did proceed to Concord to fight that day. Prior to their march, Asahel Porter, who was not a militiaman, was on his way to market using the same road toward Arlington where he was detained by the British forces and was shot in the back while fleeing. Another one of the casualties of that day, Daniel Thompson, died in battle.
