Parades and Ceremonial Activities

In addition to numerous benefit activities, school and educational living history presentations, and our reenactments, the Lexington Minute Men have marched in the inaugural parades of Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. They have also served as Honor Guard for numerous Massachusetts Governors. The Bicentennial visits of President Gerald Ford and Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip provided the opportunity for the Company to serve as their honor guard. The Bicentennial reenactment of 1976 was attended by over 18,000 people.
The Lexington Minute Men have conducted opening ceremonies for numerous events. The Minute Men took part in the Rededication of the Battle Green during Patriots’ Day weekend of 2000 and are seen here marching proudly past Buckman Tavern, the meeting place of the militia on April 19, 1775.
