The house itself takes about an hour, plus the 15-20 minute movie beforehand. I would allow at least 1.5 hours.

Watched a good 13 minute documentary on the overview. We then spent the next 45 minutes with John, a very knowledgeable guide as we toured the house. Interesting history and worth the money. Tours on the hour.

Wasn't sure about this stop at first, but I am extremely glad I went. It's a bit of a walk from the battle green in Lexington (about a half mile), but well worth the time. There is an intro video, and then you are taken...More
