Hancock-Clarke House in Lexington connects the night before the fighting of April 1775 with a preserved domestic setting.
Interpretation also examines the women and enslaved people whose lives formed part of the household’s history.
The photograph shows the house exterior. Check current seasonal tour admission and departure times before arriving. Historic rooms and stairs have controlled access, and groups or mobility requirements should be discussed separately. Allow time for the broader household stories rather than treating the house only as a location associated with John Hancock and Samuel Adams.
