The package includes admission to all three of Lexington’s historic house museums—Buckman Tavern, Hancock-Clarke House, and Munroe Tavern—offering a level of access no other tour provides. Guests have the rare opportunity to walk through the actual spaces where pivotal moments unfolded: the gathering place of militia members, the home connected to Patriot leaders, and a site later occupied by British troops. With exclusive entry to all three historic houses included, we offer an immersive way to experience Lexington’s past.

1Hancock-Clarke House
Built in 1737, Hancock-Clarke House was the parsonage for the town of Lexington during the 18th century. Reverend Jonas Clarke was hosting patriot guests John Hancock and Samuel Adams when they were awakened by Paul Revere and his famous warning in the early hours of April 19, 1775. Thanks to generous grant funding, this site is also the location of new research and exhibitions related to the enslaved and indentured black populations of Lexington in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Visitors to Hancock-Clarke House take guided tours on the hour, lasting about an hour.
1 hour • Admission ticket included -
2Munroe Tavern
Built in 1735, Munroe Tavern was commandeered by the British Redcoat troops on their retreat back to Boston on the afternoon of April 19, 1775. Downstairs, the Tavern illustrates the British perspective of the day’s events. Upstairs, the story’s focus shifts to what it was like to have a family home taken over by enemy soldiers. The final highlight is the chance to see where President Washington’s dined when he visited the Tavern in 1789. Visitors to Munroe Tavern move through the museum at their own pace.

The upstairs of Buckman contains galleries for rotating, special temporary exhibitions. Visitors to Buckman Tavern move through the museum at their own pace. Audio tours are included with the price of admission.
