Lexington Visitors Center

The Lexington Visitors Center is the town’s recommended first stop for exploring the place known as the Birthplace of American Liberty. It sits across from the Battle Green and next to Buckman Tavern, and knowledgeable tourism advisors help visitors plan their time, suggest itineraries and share information about historic sites, restaurants, conservation land and cultural events. Several tours depart from the building, including Battle Green walking tours, the Liberty Ride trolley and the iREV mixed reality tour.

Inside, exhibits include the Revolutionary History Room, a diorama of the Battle of Lexington, a room dedicated to the U.S.S. Lexington and an animated video series. A gift shop sells Revolutionary-era memorabilia, books, colonial toys, apparel and crafts by local artisans. Town Meeting voted to replace the old, outdated building, and the new center now welcomes more than 120,000 local, national and international visitors a year.
