Isaac Hall was captain of the Medford<\/a> Minute Men and was among those summoned to action by Paul Revere on the evening of April 18, 1775. He fought at both the Battle of Concord<\/a>, pursuing the British as they retreated, and the Battle of Bunker Hill two months later.<\/p>\n

Hall was active in town affairs: he served as a town officer in different capacities from 1765 to 1789, the year of his death. At different times he held the office of engine-man, wood corder, salt-measurer, assessor, and fire-warden.<\/p>\n

A tablet was erected to memorialize Captain Hall and the house where he once lived\u2014now the oldest surviving home in Medford Square. As Hall Gleason said before the Medford Historical Society on March 20, 1905, the tablet does not intend, \u201cto perpetuate any remarkable military achievements of valor of Captain Isaac Hall, though he performed his part in those heroic contests which gave confidence to the colonists in their resistance to oppression. It is more that Medford desires to honor all the men who helped her to take so important share in the early battles of the war which gave birth to the nation, and which has meant freedom for the whole English-speaking race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nearby, a bronze plaque affixed to a small boulder reads:<\/p>\n
