Originally built in 1738, the Jason Russell House is now owned by the Arlington Historical Society and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1947. The historic house contains furnishings from the 18th and 19th centuries, many of which belonged to the Russell family. Bullet holes from the bloodiest battle of the first day of the Revolutionary War are still visible throughout the house, and a monument marks the grave where Russell and eleven other men were buried after perishing in the fight. Visitors are invited to explore and learn about life from that era on weekends from April through September.
