Jason Russell House Tours (Arlington MA)

Come visit the Jason Russell House in Arlington to hear the rest of the story! The fiercest fighting on April 19, 1775, the first day of the American Revolution, happened right here.  The walls of the house still bear musket ball holes from the conflict in which Jason Russell and eleven other colonials lost their lives.  Guided tours will be available Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm to 4pm from June 3 until October 29.  Tours include an exhibit, “Menotomy–Road to Revolution,” which tells the stories of other residents of Menotomy (as Arlington was then known) as they defended their homes and village from the retreating British troops.  For more information visit https://arlingtonhistorical.org; email contact@arlintonhistorical.org; or call 781-648-4300.
