Visit Ebenezer Fiske House Site, Lexington, Massachusetts
At the eastern base of Fiske Hill, a jagged stone foundation marks the location of the historic Ebenezer Fiske house site. This home constructed in the later portion of the 17th century, formed the nucleolus of the prosperous Fiske family farm and included over 70 acres of ground on April 19, 1775. When the sounds of battle echoed through the rolling landscape the Fiske family fled to a safer location while their home bore witness to the brutality of 18th century warfare. Upon returning home, Rebekah Fiske discovered a dead British soldier on her doorstep and three horribly wounded men laying in a pool of blood inside her front door. After the battle, local doctor Joseph Fiske cared for the wounded at this house, however three of the four men perished.
