On this one-hour tour, you'll explore the key sites around the Lexington Battle Green, a site of national historic significance. It’s considered sacred ground for both the blood shed and the Minutemen buried here. Highlights include the Henry H. Kitson Minuteman Statue, the Revolutionary War Monument—an obelisk from 1799—where seven fallen militiamen are buried, and the Captain John Parker monument with the famous inscription: “Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” You’ll also see the Old Belfry, which sounded the alarm on April 19, 1775, and the Old Burying Ground, where notable figures like John Hancock and Jonas Clarke are laid to rest.
