Lexington Cultural District Map

LEXINGTON’S CULTURAL DISTRICT

Lexington pursued this designation to encourage greater collaboration among cultural organizations, expand the general awareness of the Town’s cultural assets, and leverage creative and business resources to brand Lexington as a cultural destination. The Lexington Cultural District helps nurture arts and cultural initiatives and bring positive economic benefits to cultural institutions and local businesses while supporting Lexington’s creative community in its ongoing pursuit of partnerships and financial resources.

Lexington has strong, well-maintained, and nationally recognized physical assets and amenities that are a strong draw for local, national, and international tourists. Some of its most unique assets include many National Historic Landmarks that have a foundational place in the country’s colonial past. Battle Green and the surrounding area are the sites of the first Revolutionary War battle and a tourist attraction with an international appeal. The proximate Buckman Tavern, the Hancock-Clarke House, and the many historic homes that abut the Battle Green create a picturesque feel for visitors and define the Town’s character.
