q <br /> J <br /> 1 1 <br /> r �„f <br /> { <br /> y � <br /> I; <br /> �l. <br /> jf <br /> � Y <br /> Lexington has numerous historical markers and memorials associated with events <br /> along the Battle Road. Some of these are the tercentennial markers that date <br /> back to 1930 and have a distinctive historic character of their own or contain <br /> information that may not be well-known today. Other sites along the Battle Road <br /> that were identified as heritage landscapes are included in the chart in the <br /> appendix with an annotation that they are along the Battle Road. <br /> Recommendations <br /> The organizers of the Scenic Byway proposal will need to continue to involve all <br /> relevant groups within town government(Planning Board, Historical <br /> Commission, Historic Districts Commission, Tourism Committee and <br /> Department of Public Works) as well as other organizations such as the National <br /> Park Service,MassHighway, Lexington Historical Society, tourism advocates, <br /> property owners and local legislators. <br /> • Review existing Mass Historical Commission inventory forms for pre-1775 <br /> properties along the Battle Road and update as needed. Prepare new MHC <br /> inventory forms for undocumented historic resources along the Battle Road, <br /> including monuments and memorials. Prepare a thematic MHC area form <br /> that encompasses the entire length of the Battle Road in Lexington. <br /> • Make a listing of all remaining witness houses. Document any <br /> undocumented houses. <br /> • Conduct a design charette or feasibility study,possibly in conjunction with <br /> Arlington,Lincoln and Concord,to build consensus about methodology, <br /> goals and priorities for the Scenic Byway designation. <br /> • Consider a Battle Road Overlay District that would address broad issues of <br /> scenic and historic character along the entire length of the Battle Road. <br /> 5 <br />
