Buckman Tavern, a colonial community center, once used by militiamen, is now a monument to visitors seeking out the “famous” door that holds a bullet shot from the Battle of Lexington. The town has an annual reenactment of the Battle of Lexington on the exact day of the year, at the exact time of day and at the precise locations that it originally happened. On any given day, there will be full-size luxury buses touring the town center.

Lexington, Massachusetts, on the surface may seem quite dull; a town lost with the rest of the suburbia. However, the town has a rich history. At the center of Lexington is the famous Battle Green, where the first shot of the Revolutionary War rang out. Right beside it is the road to the library, which happens to be the same road the British redcoats used to search for gunpowder in neighboring towns. Scattered across town are houses and community centers preserved from the colonial era, each with unique stories.

Lexington, despite its tiny size, is home to over 30,000 people, consisting of great diversity. Every year, the town population continually increases with people coming from all over the world to settle. European and Asian immigrants make up a significant proportion of those who move to the town regularly. However, African Americans are underrepresented. To combat this issue, the state funds a busing program where underrepresented minorities from the Boston area are integrated into suburban school systems.

The people in Lexington are the kindest, most loving people you’ll find in the northeast. If you ever need help locating somewhere, they will help. In restaurants, you can quickly meet people and strike up conversations. The Cary Memorial Library is known for teen congregations from the high school and middle schools. Upon the Battle Green are tons of locals hanging out together, throwing frisbees or footballs. It’s always peaceful. The sunsets are impeccable, and the starry night sky is to die for.
