The Battle on Lexington Green Reenactment will take place on Monday, April 16, 2018 at 5:30 am on the Lexington Battle Green in Lexington, Massachusetts. This event recreates the historic skirmish in Lexington on the first day of the American Revolution. Following the ringing of the bell in the Old Belfry, members of the Lexington Training Band (now known as the Minutemen) gather on Lexington Green to await the column of British Regulars as they march into the town center. A shot rings out, the skirmish follows, and the British column marches on towards Concord leaving dead and wounded behind.
