SUMMARY:Needham2Arlington - Walk
DESCRIPTION:250 years ago Needham residents helped repel British attacks on Lexington and Concord. The Needham Militia’s 12.6 mile march to join the battle started at the Townsend Green (Nehoiden and Central Ave) and ended in Arlington by the Jason Russell House (which still stands). The fighting in Arlington was some of the heaviest of the day\, and five of Needham’s own gave their lives in the first battle to create our nation.\nFor those up to the challenge\, lace up your sneakers and join your fellow residents on Saturday\, April 19\, as we walk the 12.6 mile route from Needham to Arlington. At our destination\, we will tour the Jason Russell House with its many musket ball strikes\, commemorate the sacrifice our fellow townspeople made\, and enjoy a packed lunch.\nRegister today at needhamhistory.org. Participants must sign a release form\, and the cost is $30.00. The walk goes through Needham\, Wellesley\, Newton\, Watertown\, Belmont\, and Arlington. Assuming a roughly 25 minute/mile pace\, walkers should arrive at the Jason Russell House around 2:45pm. Participants will need to arrange their own transportation home. Proceeds will help support the Needham History Center & Museum.\nParticipants must register online with Needham History Center & Museum. This is a walk through history; not a march\, not a reenactment\, nor a run. A walk. \nVisit website: https://needhamhistory.org/ \n
