Tracing the town of Lexington's life as it transformed from a provincial farming village to attractive Boston suburb. It was established by the Puritans in 1713, but Lexington entered the history books as the Birthplace of American Liberty one April morning in 1775. However, the town's history did not begin or end with that event. Though primarily agrarian, early-19th century Lexington contained 12 taverns, a large fur industry, and other manufacturing businesses. The 20th century brought a streetcar system with Lexington Park, replete with a zoo and a theater, at its terminus. With the construction of Route 128, Lexington's population rapidly increased and the farm era faded, changing the shape of the community. Through fascinating vintage images within these pages, you will visit Massachusetts House and Russell House, where wealthy Bostonians enjoyed summering in the town's good air after the Civil War; beautiful estates, including the Hayes Castle, that dotted the town's hills once the railroad to Boston became a reality for commuters; and the Lexington station, the last remaining depot train shed in Massachusetts, which stood at the foot of Meriam Hill.
