Lexington was where the “shot heard around the world” started the American Revolution back in 1775 that ultimately resulted in America’s freedom from British control. Start your trip at the Lexington Visitor’s Center and plan out the places you will see. You can view a great diorama of the Battle of Lexington inside the visitor’s center that brings life to this revolutionary skirmish. From there you can visit the Lexington Battle Green where the shots were fired and view the statue of the Lexington Minutemen who were told to get ready at a minute’s notice. The Buckman Tavern is a historical building where the Minutemen hid while waiting for the British army while the Hancock-Clarke House was where Paul Revere and William Dawes woke up Samuel Adams and John Hancock to warn them of the British troops.
Other than the historical sites, Lexington is home to many local shops and eateries. Enjoy some frozen yogurt, buy an exquisite hand-crafted gift or catch a movie at the local theater.
