The Samuel Brooks House is a historic American Revolutionary War site in Concord, Massachusetts, United States. It is part of today's Minute Man National Historic Park. It is located on North Great Road, just off Battle Road (formerly the Bay Road).[2]
The house is situated near the border of the town of Lincoln, in an area that had been owned by members of his family since the mid-17th century. By the time of the Revolution, this area was known as Brooks Hill, and the cluster of houses on it Brooks Village.[3] There are three other Brooks-family houses within a quarter mile — the Job Brooks House, the Noah Brooks Tavern and the Joshua Brooks House.[4]
Samuel Brooks inherited the house from his father, also Samuel. When he married Mary Bateman Flint, in 1781, he inherited seven stepchildren.[3]
Brooks died in 1811.[3]
The property was purchased by the National Park Service in 1963.[3]
