lexington battle green and buckman tavern

The atmosphere in Lexington, especially a quietness, was a little bit similar with Concord town, though Lexington was relatively larger town having more population than Concord. When walking along with the main avenue, Massachusetts Avenue (or just say "Mass Ave"), we found a good library looked relatively brand-new. There were several nice shops and stores on the Avenue, including a Starbucks. Because we couldn't find the beloved Dunkin', so we decided to get cups of good coffee there (In order to clear up the misunderstanding, I also love the coffee of Starbucks, but here was New England, you know).
Anyway, after coffee break, we firstly went to Lexington Battle Green, and took the pic of the Minute Man Statue. Then we entered Buckman Tavern, which was also a museum and offered a pretty good guide tour inside the house. The elder staffs of this museum seemed to be volunteers and dress up as people in the tavern in 1775.
Here was Lexington town, MA, USA.
