The piece then details Lexington historical sites around the Common, including the Hancock Clark house and nearby Buckman Tavern, Monroes house, and related Revolutionary War lore.

Lexington and Its Common in Revolutionary Era
The village of Lexington, ten miles northwest of Boston, preserves houses from the era of the battle. Lexington Common, a triangle park, hosts the Pulpit monument, a granite pedestal with an open Bible, erected churches, and the elm planted by Gen. Grant. The Minute-men monument lists fallen soldiers, and Parker’s men are memorialized on a nearby boulder. Belfry hill once rang the alarm in 1775, its bell later moved to the Common for the signal that morning.
