Paranormal Investigation of Munroe Tavern
2026-10-03 20:00 - 23:00 (America/New_York) | Munroe Tavern, 1332 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA, 02420, United States
Step into history after hours for a unique and immersive paranormal investigation experience at Munroe Tavern, one of Lexington’s most historic landmarks. Shari DeBenedetti, known for her work on Ghost Hunters (Syfy/Travel Channel), will lead an intimate evening exploring the methods, technology, and investigative techniques used in modern paranormal research.
Old houses often “go bump in the night.” When natural explanations have been ruled out, how do investigators approach the unexplained? Shari will guide guests through the respectful and ethical practices of paranormal investigation, demonstrate specialized equipment used to attempt communication, and lead small groups through the historic museum for a hands-on investigative experience.
Munroe Tavern was overtaken by British soldiers in the aftermath of the Battle of Lexington. For hours, the home was used as a crude hospital tending to the dead and dying. Generations of family shared the stories of the chaos left behind, and the neighbor fatally shot trying to escape the house. Currently, it holds our archives and thousands of years of Lexington’s story. In a setting so deeply rooted in history, one can’t help but wonder what stories may still linger within those walls.
Space is limited to ensure a personal and engaging experience. This event is strictly for ages 18 and over. Please be respectful of the museum, and other guests’ beliefs, while participating. Nothing in this program is faked, and paranormal activity is not guaranteed.

Ari Hest opens Harmony on the Green's 5th season, October 3rd!
2026-10-03 19:30 - 21:00 | Hancock Church, 1912 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, Ma, 02420
Harmony on the Green Coffeehouse Concerts is thrilled to kick off its 5th season with the terrific Ari Hest. Hest has crafted a unique path in music – independently building a loyal following through relentless college touring, then on to major label albums, and then reimagining listener engagement through fan-driven projects like “52” and his Patreon-powered “The Treehouse Project”.
A Grammy nominated singer/songwriter(best folk album, 2017) who began his career two decades ago, he’s performed both in the U.S. and abroad with artists like The Indigo Girls, Martin Sexton, Judy Collins and Suzanne Vega. Many of Ari’s songs have appeared on TV and film – The Path, The Lincoln Lawyer, Private Practice, Army Wives, and One Tree Hill to name a few.
Ari’s newest endeavor, The Treehouse Project, has him writing, recording and releasing a song on his Patreon every two weeks since early 2022. Based on the votes of his subscribers, he remixes the 10 favorite songs from each year and releases an album. The project is currently in its fourth year and is approaching 100 original songs.
Our concerts are still just $25 (plus ticketing fees) and have, as always, a “pay what you can” feature so that everyone can enjoy live music!

Alan Dawson: Leading Lexingtonian
2026-09-10 18:00 - 20:00 | The Depot, 13 Depot Square, Lexington, MA, 02420, United States
“Lexington has heroes in every century, as change-seekers have made their mark on the town. Through building community, working for social change, pioneering in their fields, and pursuing creative passions, Leading Lexingtonians keep Lexington on the map as a historic place. This lecture series highlights their accomplishments, which are also displayed on a rotating basis in the Lexington Depot Museum.
Alan Dawson was an extraordinary jazz drummer, percussionist, and teacher who inspired countless students to pursue professional music and instruction. His accomplishments were many: He played with the Army Dance Band at Fort Dix during the Korean War. He taught at Berklee College of Music, and offered private lessons in his own home. His drumming was featured on albums with artists such as Quincy Jones, Clifford Brown, Dexter Gordon, and Dave Brubeck. He formed his own band, the Alan Dawson Quartet, and had a posthumous album, Waltzin’ with Flo, released in 2000. Most importantly, his teaching methods are still being used today by his students who continue to lift up the next generation of jazz musicians.
Join us as we welcome family, former students, and music enthusiasts to honor Dawson’s legacy in Lexington. Enjoy live music from Chris Neville, Ron Mahdi, and John Ramsay, followed by an interactive celebration of Dawson’s career led by Dawson’s daughter Deborah Mullins and student Mike Powers. Cosponsored by the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington (ABCL). A limited number of books, The Drummer’s Complete Vocabulary As Taught by Alan Dawson, are available for $26.

Cary Library: How AI Remembers, Imagines, and Creates

How AI Remembers, Imagines, and Creates
Tuesday, September 1 7:00—8:30 PM
Large Meeting RoomCary Memorial Library1874 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA, 02420
How do people use memories to imagine something new—and can AI do the same?
In this talk, Dr. Haixun Wang will explain, in everyday language, how memory, imagination, and creativity may be connected. People often create new ideas by recognizing patterns in past experiences and applying them in new situations. Modern AI systems attempt something similar, but they still struggle to produce stories and ideas with the depth, flexibility, and originality of human creativity.
Using familiar examples, Dr. Wang will discuss how AI retrieves information, makes analogies, and generates new content. He will also explore why AI-generated writing can sometimes feel repetitive or flat, and how future AI systems and agents might become more thoughtful, creative, and useful.
No technical background is required. The talk is intended for anyone interested in how AI works and how it may shape the future of human creativity.
Attendance is on a first-come basis. Registering below allows us to plan for headcount and keep you updated in case of any changes.
About our speaker:
Haixun Wang is an ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Data Engineering Bulletin, a trustee on the board of VLDB, and an affiliate professor at the University of Washington. He is currently the VP of Engineering and Head of AI at EvenUp, where he focuses on leveraging LLMs and generative AI for legal and medical document understanding and generation, building Copilot-like support for lawyers, and advancing litigation workflows.

Share supplies from LexSeeHer, or bring your own as we collectively share many forms of stitching to pay tribute to the importance of textiles in America’s history. Anna and 45 “Ladies” spun their own yarn as an act of defiance against the King, refusing to pay unwelcome taxes. Whether as a form of resistance, to meet practical needs of survival, to express ourselves, or to communicate, textiles have played a critical role in America’s history. We will see if our efforts on August 29 match the yardage of the 1769 women and girls who helped change the trajectory of our lives.

An Intoxicating History of the American Revolution
2026-08-20 19:00 - 20:30 | The Depot, 13 Depot Square, Lexington, MA, 02420, United States
Join historian Brooke Barbier for a lively talk about the influence of tavern and drinking culture on the American Revolution. Eighteenth-century Americans consumed a staggering amount of alcohol compared to us today. Drink influenced their politics, built and sustained their relationships, and drove the economy. Booze was not a small part of colonial society, nor covertly consumed in private spaces—it was integral to American life. When the colonists rebelled against the British Empire, this culture of drink and taverns helped foster revolution.
Copies of Barbier’s book will be available for purchase and signing, and samples of First Shot Rum will be served!
