博物馆详细介绍
Black New Englanders, both free and enslaved, were far more visible in the 18th century than many modern visitors to a town like Lexington might expect. The Hancock-Clarke House was one such site of enslavement. View an introductory exhibit highlighting the stories of Jack and Dinah, two individuals enslaved by the Hancock Family, as well as other Black contemporaries of Lexington. As you tour the house, you will hear how its different inhabitants - enslaved people, women, and male Patriots - viewed the concept of liberty. The award-winning Hancock-Clarke House Herb Garden contains traditional herbs of the 18th Century. It is divided into culinary, medicinal, and aromatic/household sections, with 42 carefully researched herb species. In addition, there is an heirloom Roxbury Russet apple tree rear of the house. The garden is maintained April through November by the Lexington Field & Garden Club’s Morning Study Group, which began the project over 50 years ago. The first floor of Hancock-Clarke House is accessible to most wheelchair users. The second floor is not accessible. A video tour of the second floor is available for viewing on request. Please note that the front entrance is 30" wide and there is a 2" step into the house. All houses, including Hancock-Clarke House, have air conditioning to keep cool.
