We’re so honored to host Kurt and Boston Russell at the Jason Russell House. Both Russells are direct descendants of Jason Russell, who lost his life during the Battle of Lexington, Concord, and Menotomy, while defending his castle.

"We're kind of amazed that we're connected. I am amazed," Russell said.
