SUMMARY:Lexington Celebrates! Walking Tour

Over the centuries\, thousands of people have descended upon the Battle Green to welcome Revolutionary War heroes like the Marquis de Lafayette on his tour of America in 1824. The anniversaries of the battle offered them a glimpse of President Grant in 1875 and a word from President Ford in 1975.

Join a Lexington Historical Society educator as they illuminate 250 years of stories full of crowds\, chaos and celebrations!\n\nFREE! Space is limited to 20 people. Registration is required.\n\nStarting and ending at Buckman Tavern\, this tour explores areas around the Lexington Battle Green.

SUMMARY:Declaring Independence Then & Now
DESCRIPTION:This dramatic presentation\, created by Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area\, aims to find out how our local towns read and reacted to the Declaration of Independence. Across the colonies\, and particularly in Massachusetts\, towns debated what freedom meant to them\, and grappled with the grievances aired in the official Declaration. What did the words in the final document mean to them? Costumed reenactors will bring life to the words of the past\, with narration by former State Representative Jay Kaufman. Rounding out our evening will be a performance by the Lexington Historical Society Colonial Singers. Some of our favorite tunes from the 18th century were highly political\, and many of them were also taken from popular English military music!

Leading off the musical performances will be a joint concert of the Lexington Bicentennial Band and the Concord Band. \nAlso\, performing will be the: \n\nJamaica Plain Honk Band\nChildren’s Community Chorus\nWilliam Diamond Junior Fife & Drum Corps\n\nCaptain Parker\nSeen by many as being the ultimate personification of a Yankee rebel and represented by a statue standing resolutely at the head of the Lexington Common\, Captain John Parker was a New England farmer\, smith\, soldier\, and colonial militia officer. \nOn April 19\, 1775\, Parker led the Lexington Militia in a skirmish with British regulars at the Battle of Lexington\, where eight militia lost their lives in a successful delaying action against the British. \nWhile the militia lost the Battle of Lexington\, Captain Parker’s actions of defiance gave inspiration to further acts of rebellion against the tyranny of King George during the American War for Independence.
