Are you a member of the Arlington Historical Society? Then this is the PARTY for you! AHS is celebrating the release of the 2025 edition of the Arlington Historical Magazine.
We are inviting all the authors of this year’s magazine to join us and chat with you about their love of history, their research, and share details of local history.
You should receive the 2025 edition in the USPS mail. AHS is continuing to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Marian Sellers’ donation of the John Ball house by using a photo of the c. 1750 farmhouse on the magazine cover. In it you’ll find:
- Zachary Newkirk’s article “Julia Robert’s Freedom Suit: One Enslaved Woman’s Path to the Supreme Court and Emancipation”
- Janine DeWitt and Kristin Neun’s article “The Color Lines of Racially Restrictive Covenant: Segregation Walls on Record”
- Bill Fogarty’s article “1946 Arlington: The First Crack in the Byrd Machine”
- Ciro Taddeo’s article “The Tea House Tower of Arlington”
- Malia Humphries-Do 2024 student award-winning article “Remembering Little Saigon: The Story of Arlington’s Vietnamese Community”
Please let us know you plan to come so we can have plenty of light refreshments and libations on hand through this EVENTBRITE LINK: (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arlington-historical-society-2025-magazine-launch-party-tickets-1761128074479?aff=oddtdtcreator )
