Sabrina Bhattacharjya, an 8th-grader with a deep-rooted passion for history, proudly introduces Lexington250.com. This groundbreaking website is the first-ever digital hub dedicated to Lexington's 250th anniversary of the Revolution, marking a significant moment in the town's historical commemoration.
Beginning its journey as a Shopify store in August 2022, Lexington250.com has now blossomed into a full-fledged website. It uniquely fuses tourism with educational insights, offering a fresh and engaging perspective on Lexington's rich heritage.
Sabrina's Creative Slogans: "Don't Forget William Dawes" and "Paul Revere Was Real"
Sabrina's passion for history isn't limited to the digital realm. Last spring, the brand had a highly successful fashion show right in the heart of downtown Lexington, drawing an enthusiastic crowd. Additionally, her history-themed shirts and hoodies, including designs like "Don't Forget William Dawes" and "Paul Revere was Real," have graced the window of a downtown storefront, where they've captured the attention of locals.
"When I was in 1st grade, 'Hamilton’ came out, and I got obsessed. Just like that, I was hooked on our town’s history. It also made me see how much of my classmates were missing out on our town’s rich and vibrant past. I went on a mission with Lexington250, to make history exciting, inclusive, and cool.”
