Memorializing the Enslaved of Arlington: Stumbling Stone Dedication at the Hendry House

September 19 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Memorializing the Enslaved of Arlington, a joint project between the Arlington Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington invite you to the unveiling of “Stumbling Stones.” These bronze markers commemorate the lives of the enslaved people who helped build our county–and our nation. The markers are placed in the sidewalk at the last known location where these enslaved people lived. Research conducted by the project has revealed over 2000 enslaved people and identified 1050 by name.

Join us for the dedication of markers honoring the enslaved who lived and toiled at Hendry House, now on the grounds of Civil War Fort C.F. Smith.
