I had a wonderful time at the Munroe Tavern (alongside the other museums in the Lexington area!); Charlie and Tom were brilliant guides and brought a wealth of enthusiasm, knowledge and expertise. I would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area - it is well worth a trip out!

Once again, it's all about history. If you're a history buff, you are really going to enjoy these places. What more can I say? That's what you come to these areas for, the history.

I kept skipping this place, thinking it wouldn't be interesting to learn about all the things British soldiers. I was so wrong! This is a little gem!
