Across the street from the Hancock-Clarke House there is a sidewalk book swap. Found Thomas Paine's Common Sense...touching!

Great piece of American Revolutionary history. The restoration and researched stories are worth experiencing.

This was awesome. Better than the Buckman Tavern. The tavern played a critical part in the first action on the Green. So, it was the do not miss place for me on the visit to Lexington and Concord. After visiting the Hancock-Clarke House, I offer the house is the do not miss. With a live tour guide vice an audio tour and a much broader interpretation of the building, the house is a do not miss.

My son and I really enjoyed the short film as well as the guided tour. The guide was knowledgeable and really made the tour fun.

They kept the house mostly in its original condition. Felt like I was walking through a house from 1775. Learned a lot, nice front desk people.
