Lexington & Concord Day Trip
Step into History: Explore the Birthplace of American Independence on the Lexington and Concord Tour
Discover the Key Sites of the American Revolution and Concord's Literary Legacy
The Battles of Lexington and Concord, fought on April 19, 1775, are remembered as the moment when the American War of Independence began, with the famous "shot heard round the world." British troops marched from Boston to Concord on the night of April 18, 1775, intending to seize arms that the colonists had stockpiled. Thanks to the heroic efforts of Paul Revere and other riders, the residents were warned, and the battle unfolded across the towns of Lexington and Concord. This tour takes you to Lexington, where you'll explore key sites such as Lexington Battle Green, Buckman Tavern, and the granite obelisk that marks the burial site of the colonists who died in the battle.
On the way to Concord, we’ll stop by Paul Revere's capture site and Hartwell Tavern, a building that played a crucial role in the resistance against the British.
