Lincoln, Colonial town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States
Lincoln spans 15 square miles of land with conservation areas, parks, and residential neighborhoods situated at 79 meters above sea level.
The territory became a separate town in 1754 when residents from Concord and Lexington requested independence due to the distance from places of worship.
The DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum maintains a collection of outdoor art installations and exhibitions throughout its expansive grounds in Lincoln.
The town connects to Boston through the MBTA Fitchburg Line commuter rail service, providing regular transportation for residents and visitors.
During the Revolutionary War, British soldiers captured Paul Revere in Lincoln on April 18, 1775, before the battles of Lexington and Concord.
