    The Lexington Battle Green, also known as Lexington Common, is a historic site in Lexington, Massachusetts. On April 19, 1775, this green was the site of the first armed conflict between colonial militiamen and British soldiers, marking the start of the Revolutionary War. Known as the "shot heard 'round the world," this skirmish began the colonies' fight for independence from England. The Battle Green is now a National Historic Landmark and features key monuments, including the iconic Minuteman Statue, the Revolutionary War Monument, and the nearby Belfry, a reproduction of the structure that summoned the militia.
