The Art of Ruth Linnell Berry
In early 1974, Ruth Berry won a Commission competition held by The
Arlington Historical Society. It was to paint a large painting depicting the
Battle at the Jason Russell House. She was chosen for her skill, experience,
and her "New Englander's" appreciation and understanding of the 19th of
April 1775. The Article.

The Old Burying Ground
Early Puritan settlers had been living and working in the village of
Menotomy for almost 100
years before a burying place was designated in
1724. The earliest mention of a burying ground in Menotomy can be
found in the Proprietors' Records for the town of Cambridge,
when, in 1724, it was voted that "the road leading
to Watertown was removed from the northerly
side to the southerly side of the land reserved for
a burying place." The Article.
