Mount your steed (or get in your car) and dash along the route traversed by Paul Revere to Lexington and Concord for this year’s celebrations commemorating the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution . Begin your tour at the Concord Museum, where you can view an extensive collection of Revolutionary War objects, and enjoy a variety of immersive programs and experiences, including three new special exhibitions, a free Community Day celebration, an ongoing Forum speaker series, and a new book by Curator David Wood. https://concordmuseum.org/
Extend your visit with a meal and a stay at the Inn at Hastings Park, located steps from the Lexington Battle Green, where the “shot heard round the world” took place. The 22-room luxury boutique hotel, the Boston area’s only Relais & Châteaux property, was recently awarded a coveted Michelin One-Key — the equivalent of Michelin’s restaurant star ratings for hotels. In advance of the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, the hotel is offering a series of Revolution-themed packages. Soar by helicopter over Revere’s route with the One If by Land, Two If by Sea, Three If by Air package; take a chauffeured tour of historic sites with the Revolution 250 package; or treat your sweetheart to Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries with the Revolutionary Romance Package. Early reservations are recommended for special dinners at the onsite restaurant, Town Meeting Bistro, including Spirits of Revolution Farm to Vine Dinner (March 27); 250th anniversary Paul Revere Midnight Ride Dinner & Candlelight Procession, with a 30-minute theatrical reenactment at the Hancock-Clark House (April 28); and the Patriots’ Day Champagne Brunch (April 19). Winter rates from $325, including breakfast. Packages are priced separately. 718-301-6660 (reservations); 781-301-6655 (dining). www.innathastingspark.com
