Robbins History Project

The Robbins History Project, funded by the Friends of Robbins Farm Park, consists of two parts at the park: the House and the Dog. Granite blocks will mark the location of the House of our community’s great benefactor, Farmer Nathan Robbins. The Dog will be a replica of his dog statue that was beloved by the children of Arlington, for whom he donated his farm to become our park.
