Lexington belfry, Massachusetts, United States

4.0 (33 reviews) Spent Ranking #8 in Lexington Points of Interest & Landmarks

Piece of History

We made the climb in sneakers, but really should have been wearing hiking boots. The path up to the belfry is rocky and not well paved. It is a shame that it is somewhat difficult to get to the Belfry, because it played a very important part in history. People should be able to access it much easier and learn the role of this building in the Battle of Lexington.

    Map Location Error Noted
    Although it is possible to reach the summit of this little hill from the address currently shown on the map, the "trail", such as it is, actually enters from the Massachusetts Avenue side, and is marked with a sign. Not handicap accessible. Historic reconstruction, and interesting history in that it has been moved several times. On April 19, 1775 it was actually down on the Lexington Green, as shown in numerous contemporaneous drawings, and at one time was located at a farm some distance from here.

    Be prepared to Climb!
    We trekked up the path to the Belfrey, not knowing before hand that it was a tough walk - especially for a couple in their 70s...but we made it up and back down without mishap. We were glad we got to see it since it helped complete our visit to Lexington to see the Battleroad events. Just be aware of the climb.
