Reviews
"Excellent tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and took a lot of time explaining the context of April 19, 1775. As we toured the house we could see multiple holes made by musket balls. It illustrated how the War for American Independence began in the homes of the colonists, as well as on the fields of Lexington and Concord. We were allowed to tour both stories of the house and the door to the attic was opened so we could take a quick glance at the servant's quarters. Be sure to take this tour if you happen to be interested in the events of April 19th, 1775. Pro tip: Street parking on Massachusetts Avenue is two hours and is a short walk from the house. Also be sure to check out the old graveyard on Pleasant Street. Jason Russell's grave is there, as well as the graves of fellow patriots Jabez Wyman, Jason Winship, and Samuel Whittemore."
"Try parking on Mass Ave, and walk up to the entrance from Jason Street. Feel free to tell guides how long or how short to make a tour- or if you are interested in a particular subject."
