Arlington, Massachusetts: A Hidden Hub of Arts and Culture in the Heart of Greater Boston

Arlington, Massachusetts, a town steeped in history and natural beauty, is also a vibrant center for arts, culture, and dining. Birthplace of Uncle Sam, the town boasts a legacy of heroes, from Revolutionary War Patriots like David Lamson to abolitionist Prince Hall. From its historic landmarks to its contemporary art scene, Arlington offers a rich tapestry of experiences for residents and visitors alike. Arlington’s history is deeply intertwined with the American Revolution. History has highlighted the Battles of Lexington and Concord, but a third battle occurred on the fateful day of April 19, 1775, – the Battle of Menotomy.

The Massachusetts Provincial Congress: A Coup d’Etat

The Massachusetts Provincial Congress was a revolutionary governing body that played a crucial role in the lead-up to the American Revolution. Formed in response to escalating tensions with Great Britain, it served as a de facto government for the colony, exercising powers that had traditionally belonged to the British-appointed governor. On October 5, 1774, over ninety representatives from the various Massachusetts county conventions met in Salem in defiance of General Thomas Gage’s dissolution of the Massachusetts Colonial Legislature. Upon learning of the meeting, Gage attempted to shut down the meeting but failed. Acting upon the advice of the various county conventions and resolves, especially the Suffolk Resolves, the representatives quickly voted to organize themselves into a “Provincial Congress…to take into consideration the dangerous and alarming situation of public affairs in this province, and to consult and determine on such measures as they shall judge will tend to promote the true interest of his majesty, and the peace, welfare, and prosperity of the province.”1 The representatives remained in Salem for a few days and then quickly adjourned to reconvene in Concord, Massachusetts.
