The Ball-Sellers House is celebrating 50 years of ownership of this c.1750 farmhouse–Marian Sellers donated it to the Arlington Historical Society for $10. 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 May 31, come and see a demonstration of how colonial Virginia women turned sheep’s wool into cloth. Reenactor Sandy Newton will show you how our colonial forebears who lived in THIS house would have turned sheep’s wool into material for all sorts of things used in the house. She’ll show you wool carding and spinning and even help you make a take home “bouncy ball” of felted wool. Also: take a free guided tour of the house from 1-4 pm.
All ages welcome!
All mini events will begin at 2:00 at the Ball-Sellers House located at 5620 3rd Street, South, in Arlington
