The Cyrus Dallin Art Museum (CDAM) in Arlington, Massachusetts, United States is dedicated to displaying the artworks and documentation of American sculptor, educator, and Indigenous rights activist Cyrus Dallin, who lived and worked in the town for over 40 years. He is best known for his iconic Appeal to the Great Spirit and Paul Revere Monument statues, both located in Boston. Museum The Cyrus Dallin Art Museum is the only institution in the country solely dedicated to preserving and interpreting the work of this late 19th – early 20th-century sculptor, and it exhibits over 90 artworks spanning Cyrus Dallin's 60-year career. These include portrayals of Indigenous peoples and Anglo-European historical figures; portraits of family members and friends; casts and prototypes of public monuments and memorials; and coins, medals, and paintings. The Museum's comprehensive exhibits ground Dallin's body of work within the context of his commitment to artistic expression, education, and Indigenous rights. Building The Cyrus Dallin Art Museum is located in the Jefferson Cutter House, a historic house on the National Register of Historic Places located in the center of Arlington, Massachusetts. The building is owned by the town, and also serves as the location of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and the Cutter Gallery, an organization that exhibits the work of local artists. Built in 1830 in a Greek Revival/Federal style in a saltbox shape, it originally was home to Jefferson Cutter, who was born in Arlington (then part of West Cambridge) in 1803. The elaborately carved main entry door is likely the work of Cutter himself, who was a turner and millwright. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. History Cyrus E.
