Buckman Tavern
- Historic house museum
- Regional draw

Buckman Tavern preserves a historic gathering place beside Lexington Battle Green.
Museum interpretation connects the building with the local militia and the events surrounding the opening of the American Revolution.
Check Lexington History Museums’ current seasonal opening and tickets before expecting interior access. The photograph shows the tavern exterior rather than the present exhibition or a current tour group. A museum visit is separate from walking on the nearby public green or joining a visitor-center tour. Use the designated entrance, allow time for interpretation and follow staff guidance around the historic rooms.
