Hotel at a Glance: The Inn at Hastings Park

Though The Inn at Hastings Park wasn’t built until the late 19th century, its surroundings are steeped in American history. When Paul Revere made his famous midnight ride, his horse galloped on tree-lined paths not far from the property. Less than a half mile from the inn’s century-old main house, you can explore the Lexington Battle Green, where the Revolutionary War started.

• Added perk: Two of this Groupon’s options come with wine and artisanal cheeses.
• Gourmet breakfast: Each morning, the inn serves a complimentary breakfast made with farm-fresh eggs and meats.
• Edible indulgence: Sink your teeth into seared sea scallops, lobster, or roasted duck breast at Artistry on the Green. The menu focuses on seasonal and locally sourced foods that highlight New England cuisine.
• Colonial decor inspires the guest rooms and suites, which feature traditional elements with a contemporary twist.

Lexington, Massachusetts: City Packed with Revolutionary War History

It’s been said that American liberty was born in Lexington, Massachusetts—the shot that started the Revolutionary War was fired on the town common (now known as the Battle Green). The landmark is central to American history and downtown Lexington, where you can take a trolley or bike ride that follows the route of Paul Revere’s ride to alert colonists that the British were coming. Dozens of minutemen awaited the British arrival at the Buckman Tavern, a colonial-era pub marked with a bullet hole from the Battle of Lexington.
