Old Belfry Tower

The sound of liberty rang from this bell in the early morning of April 19, 1775, to call forth the Lexington militia. Today, a reconstructed belfry stands as a reminder of the militia's bravery and determination at the Battle of Lexington and Concord.

Know Before You Go

The original belfry structure burned down during a storm in the early 20th century. The bell that rings in it today was forged in the 19th century, although, the original bell tongue is now located at the Hancock-Clarke House.
