National Heritage Museum

The fascinating exhibits at this unusual museum explore American history and culture. The focus on everyday life makes an entertaining complement to the colonial-history focus of the rest of the town. The installations in the six exhibition spaces change regularly. You can start with another dose of the Revolution, the permanent exhibit Sowing the Seeds of Liberty, which tells the story of that tumultuous period through the lives of Lexington residents. Other topics of exhibits have ranged from early-20th-century postcards to Jim Henson and the Muppets to America's national parks. Check ahead for the schedule of lectures, concerts, and family programs. The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry sponsors the museum.
