Get the feel of 1775 in Lexington
We enjoyed the 45 minute tour conducted by Sarah at Buckman Tavern. As this was the only tour of a 1775-era building available during the pandemic, we were glad the Historical Society was able to maintain this tour in operation. Sarah gave us an excellent idea of how the building was used, and how it related to the 4/19/1775 events that happened right outside its front door.

Historic Tavern
Came to Lexington on a Beautiful fall day to tour the green and take the trolley tour of Minuteman Park. After my tour was over, I visited the 3 historic houses in town, you can get ticket for one or for all 3. This one has a guided audio tour which tells the history of the building. This is located right across the street from the Green and was a meeting place for the militia men prior to the battle.
