It is located at 1805 South Arlington Ridge Road, Arlington, Virginia. Admission is free, and so is the parking. (see directions below)
What You’ll See:
- ALL OF ARLINGTON HISTORY from Native Americans to 9/11 in a self-guided tour of a series of exhibits.
- HISTORIC SCHOOLROOM: The museum is housed in the oldest existing schoolhouse in the county. Built in 1891. You can see what a schoolroom would have looked like back then. Ring the schoolbell!
