SUMMARY:The Road Where It Happened: Revolution Comes to Menotomy
DESCRIPTION:April 19-21\, 2025 — 10AM-4PM \nThe Mill will be open for tours and for viewing the exhibit The Road Where It Happened: Revolution Comes to Menotomy throughout the weekend of 250th celebrations that mark the start of the American Revolution. Reenactments and special events will be held in Lexington and Concord on April 19\, and in Arlington on April 20. Patriots’ Day and the Boston Marathon are on April 21. \nThe Battle of Menotomy (April 19\, 1775) is regarded as both the prelude and the continuation of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The original force of 700 British regulars had been met by reinforcements in East Lexington to form a combined force of 1700 men. Documented on a plaque at the Foot of the Rocks in Arlington Heights\, Massachusetts\, notes that “British Troops in retreat from bloody first skirmishes at Lexington and Concord were here opposed by colonial forces gathering from four counties and thirty towns. \nThis show includes exhibits from 13FOREST Gallery artists Paul Beckingham\, Bonita LeFlores and Kayla Myers\, Arlington’s 250 Committee\, and an interactive gallery for families. This exhibit\, which will run through May 31\, 2025\, examines the landscape and people of Menotomy and their role in the founding of America. \nThe Mill is open to visitors on Tuesdays and Saturdays\, 10 am to 4 pm.  The last tour of the day is available at 3 pm.  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			This event explores our region’s revolutionary past! Learn about Freedom’s Way 250 and discover the many ways the Heritage Area and its partners are commemorating and celebrating our nation’s semiquincentennial anniversary.
