SUMMARY:Exhibit: The Road Where It Happened: Revolution Comes to Menotomy
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit: The Road Where It Happened: Revolution Comes to Menotomy\n\nTuesdays and Saturdays through May 31\n\nThe Old Schwamb Mill is pleased to present the exhibit "The Road Where It Happened: Revolution Comes to Menotomy\," part of Arlington's 250th commemoration of the American Revolution. The exhibit examines both the landscape and people of Menotomy and their role in the founding of America.\n\nBattle Road was the route traversed by some 2\,000 British regulars marching to Concord and back again on April 19\, 1775\, sparking the start of the American Revolution. More than 3\,000 colonists from Menotomy and nearby towns also gathered along the road to fight for independence from British attempts to impose greater control over the colonies.\n\nKnown today as Massachusetts Avenue\, the road to revolution travels through Cambridge\, Arlington (Menotomy)\, and Lexington on the way to Concord. The region's Semiquincentennial (250th) commemoration of the initial battles in 1775 seeks to re-examine that history and the particular role that the people and the landscape of Menotomy played in the founding of America.\n\nThe rugged rocks and ridges of western Menotomy\, known as the Foot of the Rocks\, and the roadway stretching east to Spy Pond saw the day's worst fighting and many deaths on both sides. Local militias battled the beleaguered British troops during their retreat from Lexington and Concord.\n\nThe Mill is also providing an interactive space for family activities and is hosting two related exhibits: "No Place Like Home" artworks by 13FOREST Gallery artists Paul Beckingham\, Bonita LeFlore and Kayla Myers\; and historic information panels prepared by Arlington's 250 Committee.\n\nThe Old Schwamb 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\nAdmission is free\, with a suggested donation of $5.00.\n\nOld Schwamb Mill\n\n17 Mill Lane\, Arlington\, Massachusetts 02476\n\n781-643-0554\n\nhttps://oldschwambmill.org\n\ninfo@oldschwambmill.org
