"Historic Homes of Patriots" Top 5 Page for this destination Lexington Things to Do Tip by emilienoelle

Lexington's downtown area is full of homes that predate the famous Battle and thus the United States itself. These homes, though privately owned, come under a strict set of rules and regulations by the Historical Society. They are only allowed to be painted certain colors and any renovations are closely monitored to insure adherance to historically accurate building styles. Historic houses which were formerly the homes of Patriots are marked as such with plaques and visitors are allowed to view the grounds and photograph them, though not allowed inside. A friend of our family owned such a house when I was growing up, the home of a former doctor who took part in the Revolution, and it was not uncommon to find people out in the yard with cameras!

Directions: Throughout the downtown and central area.
