Located 20 miles northwest of Boston, the L. G. Hanscom Field is a first-class general aviation facility bounded by the towns of Lincoln, Concord, Bedford and Lexington. Many historic sites are nearby, including Minutemen National Park and the North Bridge where the first shot of the Revolutionary War was fired. The airport is also situated close to many high-tech businesses and defense companies and provides an excellent option for those seeking to avoid the congestion of Boston and Logan.
