The Lexington Historical Society, founded in 1886, provides public tours of Lexington’s historic sites that played important roles in the Battle of Lexington: the Hancock-Clarke House, Paul Revere’s destination; Buckman Tavern, the gathering place of the Lexington militia; and Munroe Tavern, British field office and hospital on April 19, 1775. The Society provides year-round history programming for all ages. The Society has an extensive archives of Lexington history through the years, as well as rich collections of objects spanning the years from the Town’s incorporation in 1713 to the present.
The Lexington Historical Society is seeking volunteer historic house greeters for the Hancock-Clarke House and for Munroe Tavern in support of our mission to be a premier interpreter of the events of April 1775.
