Cheesy History at the Ball-Sellers House

June 28 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

The Ball-Sellers House is celebrating 50 years of ownership of this c.1750 farmhouse when Marian Sellers donated it to the Arlington Historical Society. We have so much history to share, we’re launching a new mini history series called “15 Minute History” twice a month on select Saturdays at 2:00 pm.

On June 28 come and see a reenactment demonstration of how the Ball girls would have made cheese. Sandy Newton will demonstrate the steps it took to make the cheese we now take for granted at our grocery store. Sandy has worked at Mount Vernon for 32 years as a guide, farm supervisor, and character interpreter. She knows! how 18th century farms worked and what they were able to produce.

We’re also open for FREE guided tours from 1-4.  Step back in time with us! All ages welcome!
