Art & Architecture Walking Tour – Updated with MA250 Commemorative Sites!

Join us for a walk through Arlington Center to explore the Town’s rich historic and artistic legacy. Experience three beloved public artworks by the celebrated sculptor and former Arlington resident, Cyrus Dallin: Paul Revere, Menotomy Hunter, and Robbins Memorial Flagstaff. Learn the stories behind notable memorials and historic buildings, including the Uncle Sam Memorial Statue (1976), Soldiers & Sailors Monument (1887), and the art deco Arlington Co-operative Bank (1934).

New this year! We have added additional stops related to Arlington’s revolutionary era history. These include Riding Through History, an Arlington 250 public art installation featuring two life-sized painted horses; the Samuel Whittemore Memorial (America’s legendary folk hero); the Old Men of Menotomy wagon capture site; and more. Art and history enthusiasts of all ages are welcome!

Before or after your tour, we highly recommend that you explore the diverse restaurant scene in Arlington Center. You will find the perfect spot to relax and reflect on your journey through art and history.

Admission: $10, $5 for members and students, free for children 13 and under. Reserve your spot here. Can’t make it? Our Thursday, August 21 tour is also open for registration!

The tour starts in front of the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum at 611 Mass. Ave. in Arlington. Metered parking is available in the lot behind the building.
