New Exhibit: Who Decides? Governing Arlington Through Time

May 18 @ 8:00 am - July 31 @ 5:00 pm

Explore how Arlington has been governed, and who has held the power to make decisions, over time in Who Decides? Governing Arlington Through Time. This exhibit traces the county’s evolving systems of leadership, from its early days as part of the District of Columbia to its return to Virginia and the development of today’s county board system.

Through stories of civic debate, reform, and community action, visitors will discover how Arlingtonians have shaped their government and how questions of representation, voice, and power continue to matter today.

The Arlington Historical Museum is commemorating 250+ years of local history. This exhibit is upstairs on the 2nd floor of the museum. The Museum is open Saturdays 10-4 PM and Sundays 1-4 PM. 
It’s FREE!
