This fall, the Lexington Historical Society will be exhibiting artifacts excavated from the site of the Hancock-Clarke house in the 1960s. The collection includes a variety of goods from the household of Rev. John Hancock in the 1730s, such as glassware, pottery, metal objects, and dairying tools.

We hope to give you a "behind the scenes" look as this exhibit comes together and share interesting facts and background information about the artifacts and the Hancock family.

We also want to hear from you! Do you remember the excavation at the Hancock-Clarke house? Did you participate? Please share your memories in the comments section, or email office@lexingtonhistory.org
