The Lexington History Museums has transformed the old train station into a museum of Lexington’s history, from pre-Revolutionary times to the present, with exhibits about the famous Battle of Lexington, but also about the town’s mid-century modern architecture and history of activism. The new Lexington Depot — 25 years in the making — opened to the public on Saturday, just in time for the 250th anniversary celebrations.
