To count down the days to the end of summer, I will be taking you on a virtual walking tour of Arlington–the same one outlined in 1937’s The WPA Guide to Massachusetts. Each entry will include an excerpt from the book about each site visited. Hopefully this will give us a little insight as to how things have changed in the past 73 years. Though not a numbered stop on the tour in the book, the Indian Hunter is mentioned briefly on its own line.

“The Indian Hunter, by Cyrus E. Dallin (see below), stands in the park between the library and the Town Hall.”

The Menotomy Indian Hunter has long been a symbol of the town of Arlington. August 9, 2010.
