Lexington, MA
Lexington is a historic town in central Massachusetts, most notable as the site of the shot heard round the world of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the first engagement of the American Revolutionary War. Today it is a thriving New England town, offering a wide range of activities.
Every year, on the third Monday of April, the town observes Patriot's Day. Events begin with Paul Revere's Ride, with a special re-enactment of the scene at the Hancock-Clarke House. At 6am, there is a re-enactment of the skirmish on the Battle Green, with the unknown shot being fired from the nearby Belfry. After the rout, the British march on towards Concord, where, in 1775, they captured and destroyed arms stores.
Throughout the rest of the year many tourists enjoy tours of the town's historic landmarks, kept up by the town's historical society.
