    Hancock Church 1912 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, Ma

    A stunning afternoon of music by dozens of musicians and three area ensembles is on offer for Sunday, June 7, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. at Hancock Church in Lexington. This Is My Song: A Memorial Concert for Martins Aldins will celebrate the musical life and legacy of the longtime area musician who presented dozens of concerts for more than 25 years in Lexington and beyond. The concert is free and open to all.
    The concert will feature three of the ensembles Martins “Marty” Aldins sang in or led– A Joyful Noyse Early Music Ensemble, the professional Labyrinth Choir, and the Hancock Chancel Choir. In addition, traditional Latvian folk tunes arranged by Marty will be performed by traditional Latvian musicians, as well as chamber music by some of Marty’s musical collaborators. The program will feature works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Biber, Arvo Pärt, Morten Lauridsen, and much more. The concert will range through much of the wide range of music that Marty enjoyed and participated in making: choral music, early music, chamber music, traditional Latvian music, and more.
    “Marty was a key component of our music program for over 25 years,” says Mark Morgan, Director of Music at the church, “his love of music, his voice, and his gentle spirit are sorely missed and we welcome this opportunity to celebrate his long legacy of music making.”
    The concert will be followed by a reception. Hancock Church is located at 1912 Massachusetts Ave, on the Battle Green in Lexington (MA) center. There is parking in the rear of the church, and an elevator is accessible via the Massachusetts Ave entrance.

  • 6th Annual Quock Walker Hike for Freedom

    Lexington Visitors Center 1875 Massachusetts Avenue, LEXINGTON, MA, United States

    We are looking forward to celebrating Quock Walker's Hike for Freedom on what is forecast to be a mild Saturday morning.  Please note that onsite registration begins at 8 am.

    Date: Saturday, July 11, 2026

    Venue:  Lexington Visitors Center Lawn, 1875 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA

    What:  Family-friendly hike on the ACROSS Lexington Route E(mancipation) Loop to commemorate Quock Walker’s journey from enslavement to employment in Barre, MA in April 1781. 

    Who: Quock (Kwaku) Walker was born on a Wednesday in 1753 to Mingo and Dinah. He self-emancipated and declared himself a yeoman in 1781.  He bought property in Barre and got married in 1786.

    Why:  Quock Walker's legal victories in 1781 led to the 1783 Supreme Judicial Court case that abolished slavery in Massachusetts over 70 years before Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.  

    During your journey across Route E(mancipation) you will pass by the foot of Belfry Hill where Venuse Roe was enslaved in the home of Jonas Roe. At about three years old, she was gifted to Smitheren Reed of Woburn District. And you will pass by Lexington Green where Prince Estabrook was injured during the Battle of Lexington at dawn of April 19, 1775.  Private Prince Estabrook enlisted for several three year terms as an enslaved soldier of the Continental Army.

    Venus Roe and Prince Estabrook were emancipated in 1783 in the wake of the third Quock Walker case, Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Nathaniel Jennison.
