Lexington Visitors Center: Guided Battle Green 360 Walking Tours
About
The Battle Green 360 Walking Tour is a one-hour guided walk across the Lexington Battle Green, led by guides in colonial dress who recount the events of April 19, 1775. Visitors stand where the militia stood and learn about the everyday people who stood up for what they believed in at the start of the American Revolution. The tour uses past-versus-present overlays to show how the scene looked then compared with today.
Tours begin at the Lexington Visitors Center, across from the statue of Captain John Parker. The green is a National Historic Landmark and is considered consecrated ground, both for the blood shed there and for the militiamen buried on it. The town also offers related experiences, including the 20-minute iREV mixed reality tour of the colonial Meeting House and Belfry and the 90-minute Liberty Ride trolley tour, which runs seasonally.
