A must-see stop for any visit to Lexington. It's amazing how many details about 1775 are glossed over during our history classes over the years. We were very glad we took the time to enjoy this tour!

Great self led audio tour through interesting exhibits. Rooms well laid out. Enjoyed going through at our own pace as well. During our visit there was an excellent exhibition on methods of communication during the revolution. This was my favourite part of the whole visit.

We loved every moment from the start to the end. 8 for entry with self-guided audio, or, 12 for combined 2 tavernentry tickets. First, this is a historical old tavern site, not a drinking pub. They have a lift access and a toilet, and, entrance is from the attached store addition. The staff are super friendly ladies and a gent and very passionate and proud of their local history. They ggave us 2 maps. We found that the larger color maonwas useful to explore the area later. The building and the displays are small, but, interesting, comprehensive, and offer hands-on experiences for little ones, too. You will learn a lot about how the signaling of American Revolution happened with beacons, lanterns and horse riders and stories got twisted later by some fake news tellers as the event was told through the brag and the sensational journalism, like today. For the location, this tavern building is perfect start point of the historical visit to Lexington. Parking was easy along the park and the tavern next. (Ignore google map suggestion of parking at a garage blah blah then walk back and forth for several minutes) Don't forget to visit the little belfry site (reconstructed) and the wonderful city library across the park which tells that this tavern was once used as the town's library. The whole old town of Lexington is lovely with lots of bicycle riders, too. I I cannot believe that it is still in metro Boston area, very different and quaint like some continental European town layout to me. You will love this place.
