John Nelson Hop House site at Minute Man National Historical Park

The site of the John Nelson Hop House is located within the Battle Road Unit of Minute Man National Historical Park along the Battle Road Trail just east of the Paul Revere Capture Site. Nelson had a license to brew beer, and he built a barn for storing hops at this location around 1810. Nothing remains of the barn, though there is a wall made of stones, perhaps stones from the original barn ruins. John Nelson also built a house around this time, and it is located a little farther east. See the John Nelson House web page for more information.
