Battle Green Guides

Take a Free Tour of the Lexington Battle Green and
Visit the Old Burying Grounds On Your Own


The Battle Green is attended to by colonial period costumed guides for most of the spring, summer and fall seasons. The Battle Green is not part of the Minuteman National Historic Park nearby, but the guides, who are employees of the Town of Lexington, serve a function similar to park rangers. They give free tours of the Green including a detailed account of the events of April 19, 1775 and can answer other questions regarding Lexington’s history and attractions.

Tours are not scheduled and occur randomly as visitors arrive and seek to learn about our important place in history. Look for a guide in colonial period costume and join the free tour.

Guides are generally on duty from 9am to 5pm during the popular summer months. During other months the hours vary. Private tours of the Battle Green and surrounding area can also be scheduled through the Lexington Historical Society at 781–862–1703 or 781–862–5598.
