Last weekend, joined its neighboring communities of Lexington and Concord in celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the start of the American Revolution, considered by many to be the most significant political revolution in human history.
On Sunday, April 20th, starting at 2 pm, the bloody Battle of Menotomy (as Arlington was known at the time) was reenacted along the stretch of Mass Ave extending from Arlington High School to Town Hall. This is the path the British forces took in retreating from Concord and Lexington, and they were constantly ambushed along the way by local Minutemen.
Several of those ambushes were re-created, including the conflict that took place on the grounds of the Jason Russell House, a battle that claimed more lives than any other in those initial days. ACMi provided live coverage of the Reenactment organized by Arlington MA 250, be sure to watch the video online.
