Jack and Jill Club of America visit to the museum

The Arlington Historical Museum recently hosted the NOVA chapter of the Jack and Jill Club of America, dedicated to nurturing future African American leaders.

Hume School

Built in 1891, the Queen Anne-style building was designed by B. Stanley Simmons, an area architect. The school was named for Frank Hume, a local civic and business leader, who donated adjacent land for a playground. It was an active public school for 67 years, closing in 1958.

Hoffman-Boston Senior-Junior High School

On October 20, 1931, Hoffman-Boston Junior-Senior High School is dedicated with ceremonies. The school replaced an older, 4-room school known as Jefferson, on approximately the same site. The school was named to honor two people who had served as principals in African-American country schools: Edward Clarendon Hoffman and Ella Boston.
