Notes: The National Heritage Museum is a different kind of museum. We focus on the rich diversity of American life across four centuries. There's always something happening at the Museum. In addition to our changing exhibitions, we present programs for all ages: lectures, creative workshops, craft demonstrations, family events, films and concerts. Located in Lexington , the "Birthplace of Liberty," the Museum is the ideal starting point for a visit to historic sites including Battle Road and Minuteman National Park . Our exhibition portraying the colonists' daily life at the outset of the American revolution enthralls visitors from around the world.
