The historic town of Lexington Massachusetts has a thriving, vibrant arts community. Lexington Open Studios provides an annual opportunity to foster relationships & connections between artists and the community. This event provides opportunities to view art made within the community; to interact with local artists; and to have access to artists' working spaces. Our goal is to broaden the public's exposure to, and appreciation of, finished works of art as well as the art-making process. This exposure both educates the community and raises awareness of the diverse artistic experience available in Lexington.

Lexington was preparing for battle long before British soldiers arrived on April 19th, 1775. Paul Revere and William Dawes, fellow Sons of Liberty, rode hard from Boston, arriving in town just before midnight. Their destination: The home of Reverend Jonas Clarke. Their mission: To warn Patriot leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the impending British raid.
Lexington’s Patriots’ Day celebration commemorates the opening moments of the American Revolution with moving reenactments, solemn ceremonies, and vibrant community events. At dawn, the Battle Green comes alive as militia and British regulars recreate April 19, 1775. Parades, historic homes, music, and family activities follow, honoring courage, sacrifice, and civic pride while welcoming visitors to experience the town’s enduring revolutionary spirit through storytelling, education, reflection, and shared remembrance across generations and communities each historic spring.
