It was the “shot heard round the world”.

247 years ago today, colonial militias in the towns of Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, fought the first battles of the American Revolution. Today, just steps from where those first shots rang out, a pair of touchscreen kiosks at the Lexington Visitors Center give visitors an engaging introduction to this key moment in American history. These experiences are powered by our Storycrafter digital platform.

See how the Town of Lexington uses Storycrafter kiosks to build engaging experiences at their new Visitors Center.
