Built c. 1745, the Jason Russell House was the site of one of the biggest skirmishes of the first Battle of the Revolutionary War, resulting in more Provincial deaths than anywhere else throughout the entire day.

As British troops marched back towards Boston from Concord and Lexington on April 19, 1775, heavy fighting occurred along their route through Arlington (then Menotomy).

Guided tours of the Jason Russell House are available.
