We’ll begin with a short drive out of the city and into the countryside, where we’ll have the opportunity to stop and grab some fresh produce from one of the roadside farm stands. Once in Lexington, we’ll fittingly start our history tour at the very site where the first clashes between the British Redcoats and American Patriots occurred. You’ll hear about the events leading up to and in the aftermath of the first military engagements here at the Battle Green and what one author described as the “shot heard round the world”. You’ll learn about the early struggles of the American colonists and the landmarks tied to crucial turning points in the war for independence, including the 1775 replica of the Old North Bridge and commemorative statues found in Minute Man National Historical Park. We’ll see other historic structures significant for their location on “Battle Road”, including Buckman and Hartwell taverns. While Concord is notable for its Revolutionary War sites, it has historically been linked to literary greats. We’ll stop by the Orchard House, where Louisa May Alcott wrote her famous coming-of-age novel Little Women, as well as the nature sanctuary that inspired Henry David Thoreau’s Walden. After we pay our respects to the other renowned authors interred at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery – among them Nathaniel Hawthorne and Ralph Waldo Emerson – our private Lexington tour will wrap up with a scenic ride back to the city of Boston.
