“We trust in God, that should the state of our affairs require it, we shall be ready to sacrifice
our estates and everything dear in life, yea, and life itself in support of the common cause.”

The Lexington Minute Men Company, originally known as the Lexington Training Band, has been committed to the pledge above since December 13, 1773.

Our members join together to form an organization dedicated to increasing knowledge and understanding of our Country’s birth. Through school visits, reenactments, and speaking engagements, the Lexington Minute Men keep alive the memory of our Country’s founding.

Whether outfitted in their authentic colonial clothing, or their ceremonial uniform, these emissaries are able to explain a piece of history that goes beyond that taught in classrooms, or national media. Members research the character they are assigned to portray, often times spending untold hours in the pursuit of the smallest details. ​

We welcome all people 18 years of age and older with a desire and passion to participate and ‘live the history’ with the actual unit that gave the first armed resistance to the British Crown at the beginning of America’s war of independence, April 19, 1775.
