Arlington Historical Society
About
The Arlington Historical Society is a nonprofit devoted to the history of Arlington, a town known as Menotomy at the time of the Revolution. Its signature site is the Jason Russell House, where fighting broke out on April 19, 1775, as British troops retreated from Lexington and Concord, and where Jason Russell was killed. The society offers both individual and group tours of the historic house.
Education is a core part of its work. Through its education and outreach program, the society welcomes school classes and other groups to explore what life was like in colonial America. It also hosts events intended to spark curiosity and conversation about Arlington’s history, and it invites residents and visitors to learn more about the town’s past and to join the organization.
