The Lexington Depot
The Depot first operated as a train station from 1846 until 1977. The Lexington Depot expands the diverse and sometimes surprising stories of people who have lived, worked, and played here. Through displays and interactive exhibits, meet architects, farmers, activists, musicians, and others who have shaped our town from pre-Revolutionary times to today.

The News From Lexington
Emanuel Leutze, most known for his iconic painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware, painted this scene of the countryside hearing of the Battle of Lexington in 1852. It has recently been restored and given a central space in the gallery alongside other Revolutionary relics, including a waistcoat owned by John Hancock.
