Lexington is an affluent community that prides itself on the beauty
of town land, the safety of its residents and the excellence of its
public school system. The town has numerous parks, conservation
lands, museums and libraries that provide exceptional opportunities
for recreational and cultural activities. The town's physical
location, residents feel, is ideal, allowing easy access to Boston,
the Atlantic ocean, the White Mountains and many important
historical sites in the state. Lexington's citizens are especially

Paul Revere's ride and the battle with the British, is one of the
town's most popular events. |
