Concord and Lexington

　　Introduction       For most Americans, Concord and Lexington are inevitably linked. Those familiar with history will find these two places particularly fascinating, as they are the birthplace of the American Revolutionary War. Although the two towns are geographically and historically close, Concord is more charming and vibrant than Lexington, and offers a broader range of attractions. The Concord Museum features 15 exhibition rooms and an art gallery, showcasing local history through decorative arts and domestic handicrafts.     Lexington Village Green remains surrounded by 18th-century buildings. Since 1775, when Patriot militiamen encountered British soldiers here, Lexington has changed little in appearance. This is the site of the momentous first shot fired. A large stone also bears the command given by Captain John Parker, leader of the militiamen, as he gave that shot. The best place to start your visit is the Lexington Visitor Center, which also provides maps, brochures, and a model of the Battle of Lexington. It can help you plan a reasonable itinerary.      Transportation   　　Concord Museum　　Address: 200 Lexington Road.　　Phone: 508 369 9609.　　Lexington Visitor Center　　Address: 1875 Massachusetts Avenue.　　Phone: 617 862 1450.    Admission/Opening Hours   　　Concord Museum　　Opening Hours: January to March, Monday to Saturday 11:00–16:00; April to December, Monday to Saturday 9:00–17:00, Sunday 12:00–17:00.　　Admission required.　　Lexington Visitor Center　　Opening Hours: Daily 9:00–17:00 from May to October;                                                        &很长
