Buckman Tavern Website »
Buckman Tavern was the gathering place of the Lexington militia in the early hours of April 19, 1775. The interior of Buckman Tavern appears today very much as it did on that fateful morning in 1775, having been restored in the 1920's by the Lexington Historical Society. Among the many items on display is the old front door, with its bullet hole made by a British musket ball during the Battle, and a portrait of John Buckman, the proprietor of the tavern in 1775.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
