Hotels in Lexington

Stand where the American Revolution began at Lexington Battle Green, where the 'shot heard 'round the world' transformed history forever. Costumed interpreters at Minute Man National Historical Park bring the past to life with remarkable authenticity. Duck into Buckman Tavern to see where militiamen gathered before facing British troops that fateful April morning. The Old Belfry and Old Burying Ground offer quieter moments of reflection amid this living museum town. Between history lessons, the town center delivers surprisingly good restaurants where locals debate which founding father would have been most fun at dinner parties. Visit on Patriots' Day when the entire town becomes a time machine, complete with dawn reenactments that will make even teenagers forget their phones.
