Munroe Tavern

Munroe Tavern is a museum building in Lexington that houses exhibits related to the American Revolutionary period. The structure contains period furnishings, household items, and objects connected to colonial life and military events.

The building played a direct role during the conflict between the colonies and Britain. It was used as a military base and medical facility during a key event in April 1775.

The tavern shows how such establishments served as social and economic hubs in colonial times. Visitors see furnishings and objects that reflect daily operations of this kind of establishment during that era.

The museum is accessible during the warmer months and offers guided tours to help visitors understand the collections and history. Expect local historical information to be provided during tours.

A top federal government visitor dined as a guest here in 1789 and left traces of that famous meal. Today visitors can see some of the items connected to this visit.
