Who We Are Not: Lexington History Museums is a private non-profit organization and sometimes confused with these Town of Lexington regulatory entities: the Historic Districts Commission, which regulates the exterior look of houses in the Town’s four historic districts, and the Historical Commission, which administers the Town’s demolition delay by-law in areas beyond the historic districts and oversees the Town’s cultural resources inventory.
