The belfry was erected on this hill in 1761 and moved to the Common in 1768. It held the bell that rang the alarm on April 19, 1775. In 1797 it was moved to the Parker Homestead in the south part of town. In 1891 the Lexington Historical Society brought it back to this hill. A gale destroyed it in 1909, and it was rebuilt in 1910.
