The Road Where It Happened: Revolution Comes to Menotomy, Present Day Arlington
• How did prehistoric geological forces create the landscape of Menotomy?
• Did the narrow corridor of Battle Road between steep hillsides at the Foot of the Rocks influence
the outcome of the American Revolution?
• Who were the people of Menotomy who played a role on that critical day of April 19, 1775?
These are some of the questions explored in this exhibit.
This exhibit will be on display at the Old Schwamb Mill.
The Old Schwamb Mill in Arlington, Massachusetts, is located on the oldest continuously operating mill site in the United States. Mills have been located on the main building site since the late 1600s. In 1971, the Old Schwamb Mill was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.
