“Constants and Changes in Sharing Arlington History: a 25-Year Retrospective” is the title of an illustrated lecture planned by historian/author Richard A. Duffy at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25, at the Arlington Historical Society, 7 Jason St., Arlington.
It is free for members and $5 for nonmembers. Disabled access is at the rear of the building. Because of the interactive design of this program, it will be presented in-person only.
This is an encore edition of the dynamic, well-attended lecture that debuted last June, a society spokesman said.

Duffy writes, “In 25 years showcasing a vast array of topics on Arlington’s history, the ways of discovery and depth of resources have changed more than any previous quarter-century. We’ve been handed a golden key to our past. How do we use them to properly unlock its secrets? My story unfolds using familiar and never-before-shown images of Arlington.”
The Arlington Historical Society is not a town agency and receives no municipal support. It depends on dues, donations, grants and bequests to fund its operations.
Its mission is preserving the Jason Russell House and the society’s collections, and discovering and sharing information about Arlington’s history. Membership is $30 a year and include free admission to the Jason Russell House, gift-shop discounts and a newsletter subscription.
