I have worked at buckman tavern from 1998 until 2005. It was a great job the history was so exciting and I really enjoyed my job as a tour guide.

A must-see stop for any visit to Lexington. Its amazing how many details about 1775 are glossed over during our history classes over the years. We were very glad we took the time to enjoy this tour!

Great self led audio tour through interesting exhibits. Rooms well laid out. Enjoyed going through at our own pace as well. During our visit there was an excellent exhibition on methods of communication during the revolution. This was my favourite part of the whole visit.

A wonderful historical site! Very knowledgeable staff and a beautiful location. They made learning fun and enjoyable. I felt honored to be there.

We loved every moment from the start to the end. $8 for entry with self-guided audio, or, $12 for combined 2 tavernentry tickets. First, this is a historical old tavern site, not a drinking pub. They have a lift access and a toilet, and, entrance is from the attached store addition.The staff are super friendly ladies and a gent and very passionate and proud of their local history. They ggave us 2 maps. We found that the larger color maonwas useful to explore the area later.The building and the displays are small, but, interesting, comprehensive, and offer hands-on experiences for little ones, too. You will learn a lot about how the signaling of American Revolution happened with beacons, lanterns and horse riders and stories got twisted later by some fake news tellers as the event was told through the brag and the sensational journalism, like today.For the location, this tavern building is perfect start point of the historical visit to Lexington.Parking was easy along the park and the tavern next. (Ignore google map suggestion of parking at a garage blah blah then walk back and forth for several minutes)Dont forget to visit the little belfry site (reconstructed) and the wonderful city library across the park which tells that this tavern was once used as the towns library. The whole old town of Lexington is lovely with lots of bicycle riders, too. I I cannot believe that it is still in metro Boston area, very different and quaint like some continental European town layout to me. You will love this place.

Purchased as part of the Boston Go card. Was a great perspective of the battle at Lexington from the Tavern. It is a self-guided audio tour with an interactive area upstairs that melds history with modern day social networking. My youngest (9) was done with the audio tour by the final room (#5), but had a blast upstairs. Overall it was lots of fun. I would definitely suggest using the Go card.

We have been to the tavern before, but today was the Stories in Stone cemetery tour. This is a DO NOT miss experience. Our guide June was incredible!!

This is the place America has started...

Awesome self guided tour. They do a great job making the history come alive! You can get a good deal on visiting all three museums which are within walkings distance of each other. We went there for memorial day and it did not disappoint; but I also just love history and it was so cool to be walking right through where it all happened. The staff are friendly, helpful, and informative. A great way to spend a day in Lexington!

Great place, Knowledgeable people and the other staff are unaccommodating.

This is a walking tour through the Tavern where you listen to a recording on a phone like recorder. It was pretty good, however, $10 a person is a bit steep. And it is not kid friendly. Kids get board and begin to wonder talking and walking around on the squeaky flooring makes it hard for others to hear. So, be sure to keep your kids with you and quiet!! There are activities up stairs for kids at the end of the tour. There is also a speaker outside in the Lexington Common area with a wealth of knowledge and information.

Fun historic house tour. The audio devices for the tour werent that great, but always good to support history whenever you can!

Had a really cool exhibit upstairs...very unique!

Staff was knowledgeable, eager to answer questions honestly. Great exhibit!

Did not take the tour, too expensive.

The bathrooms could be more tidy :) otherwise, this is the best one!

My tween daughter and I visited in the morning of July 6 - nice walk through of the building. There is an included audio tour which describes all of the items. We did not stay more than 15 minutes, so we used it for one or two items.Be sure not to miss the exhibited original door with the bullet hole (theres an arrow pointing to it).This is included with the Boston Go Card and I recommend the stop.

If you are interested in history, well worth a visit.

Never take for granted, your freedom!!

Enjoyed learning about the tavern and its surrounding history.

Recommended. Nice place to learn the history.

The employees were knowledgeable and fun! Definitely recommend the tours for anyone interested in learning more about the American Revolution!

Great history. You should visit. It is great for any history fan. It was an important part of the organization of the Lexington militia. This place was where the revolution was conceived.

We really enjoyed visiting the Buckman Tavern. Staff are dressed in revolutionary war period clothing and are welcoming and helpful.Park at the depot lot for $4 and get to the tavern with a 5 minute walk.

This historic property has so much important history that people of all ages can enjoy. The incorporation of social media helps connect kids to history

A place where a few had their last drink before the Revolution startedEmotional

Always a great place to eat!

Great place for those interested in history.Gathering place for the local militia (Minutemen) and even has some holes from musket-balls.As some disappointed Google Reviewers have noted, its not a functioning tavern/bar.

Feel yourself transported to another time when you walk in. Very cool

Tour was interesting and informative, not great for holding the attention of small children, though.

This was an extremely interesting place. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was fascinating to stand where these great men stood and met so long ago. Surely worth a stop.

Love audio tour

Excellent knowledgeable staff . we learned a lot.

Nice looking colonial building in the middle of Lexington

It is a place where you can learn a lot on the American Independence War.

Nice place for a affair
