About this Event

When the Battle of Lexington was fought in 1775, Hancock Street was a country lane with just two houses. The next 150 years saw many houses built with various architectural styles - elegant columns, striking gables, turrets and towers. Come take a stroll and learn about the Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Gothic Revival homes that populate the street today.

Leaves from Buckman Tavern rain or shine, total walking distance about one mile.

Space is limited to 20 people. Online ticket sales end at 6 PM the evening before the tour.
