Religion and Spirituality in Arlington, Massachusetts
two local expertsLeave a comment
There are 64 listings on the National Register of Historic Places in Arlington. Among them are farmsteads from the 1700s, the oldest continuously operating mill in the United States, and the historic churches of many different congregations. The National Register doesn’t completely cover all the historical pieces of the town. As a bustling town of about 40,000 people, Arlington has a mix of an urbanized core with plenty of restaurants and stores, as well as a sprawl of residential suburban neighborhoods spread out around Arlington Center.
Many churches do community service projects, and there are events like the Walk for Hunger and Relay for Life. The community is also extremely interactive, having a plethora of online groups to be a part of: one for giving away things, one for posting about town elections, one for posting about anything and everything Arlington related. Arlington also has its own food pantry and “little free libraries” for residents to use as they please.
