    Absolutely recommend it! The staff were all kind and hospitable; Nancy L. was our guide! She definitely is the queen of guides! She brought the stories to life, gave us endless time to take pictures, made us feel comfortable, and truly gives Hancock and Adams the respect and love they deserve. She brought tears to our eyes! The house is the definition of the revolution.

    I volunteer for my daughter's class today and the visit was awesome! I learned so much more than i expected and the staff were wonderful and knowledgable. Its kinda quick so maybe only plan for 30-45 minutes and then make a day of it by visiting the local comic book store (which also doubles as a cool and safe hang out space for the older kids) or if your a single adult for the day; grab a bite in the center or town and take in all that Lexington has to offer
