In 1775 Lexington was a Middlesex County farming town whose fields, pastures, and small shops supported most of its households. The meetinghouse and the common were the center of town business, and the parsonage of the Reverend Jonas Clarke had become a meeting place for Patriot leaders, where John Hancock and Samuel Adams were staying that April. The town had felt the strain of the political crisis since Parliament's Boston Port Act closed the harbor and British troops under General Thomas Gage occupied the city. Farmers worried about supplies and trade, while young men drilled on the green with local militia companies. This bird's-eye view shows the town as its residents knew it in the tense months before the war reached their doorsteps.
