The Minutemen of history fought for the freedom of the colonies, and the Commonwealth Minutemen fight for the freedom of the settlements. A walk through The Museum of Freedom will show various Revolutionary War memorabilia such as mannequin soldiers and antiques. They wear colonial style clothing, and their home city Concord is full of American Memorabilia. The Minutemen are modeled after the historical Minutemen of the American Revolutionary War. The Castle was once a fortified base used by The Minutemen, but it was taken by a Mirelurk Queen. The other involves the loss of their main base, “The Castle”.

It involved an assault on the Minutemen by the Gunners that killed many of their membership. One of which is called “The Quincy Massacre”. Two major incidents contributed to their downfall. They used to keep the people of the Commonwealth safe, but no one has been able to count on them for years. The Minutemen are sort of legends from the past. They used to have a large membership, and they helped protect the various settlements from the horrors of the wasteland. However, they were once a force for good in the commonwealth. When you first meet Preston Garvey, you will learn that he is the only remaining member of the Minutemen.
