good for those history mindeds. nor much to see. Go the weekend before Patriots day and see the same thing others see at 5am, and you won't need a step ladder to watch it. More

As a long term Lexington resident I have enjoyed this major event for the last 40 years. It is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable historical reenactment battle to take in. This years 2012 weekend April 14th-16th is one to take the family to. There is much to take in throughout the entire weekend from Lexington to Concord... More

It's beautiful around this very historic area April-October, especially in May when all the young leaves come out. Around the minuteman statue, there are also many small historic landmarks. Often there are volunteer guides in costumes who tell the story. More

early in the morning on 19 April 1775, the British Regulars met a band of Minutemen on the Lexington Green. Every third Monday in April early in the morning, a re-enactment of the Battle of Lexington takes place. History at its best. Also some interesting facts can be found around the Green as well.

Great local guides. Lots of history. Don't miss "re-enactment" of the Battle of Lexington at 6 AM in April on Patriot's Day. More

Free admission. I like the fact that there usually are people dressed in colonial garb, who will answer all your questions on the battlefield. The visitor center has a model of the actual battle. It is smaller than most people think the battlefield should be, but it is a beautiful park in the middle of Lexington. More

Great to stop and see this historic site. Before you start wandering around, go across the street to the visitors center. They will load you up with information and maps to enrich your experience even more. Well preserved area, great to see history in real life. More

Lots of grass and trees and a historic site, to boot. Lexington is an upscale suburb, so they maintain this jewel well and it is popular with tourists, especially during Patriot's Day in mid-April. Also visit bridge in Concord and the Minuteman National Park. More
