Join us at Glencarlyn Library to learn how Arlington helped shape a nation
In 1776, the 26 square mile area now known as Arlington County had fewer than 1,000 people. Yet despite its relatively tiny size and population back then, our forebears played an outsized role in the events that would lead to the birth of our nation. Join historian Kevin Vincent as he examines just how the place that we call home today became the hotbed and the heart of the American Revolution some 250 years ago.
Starting at 1:00 PM, travel back in time before the library talk with a tour of the Ball-Sellers House–a c.1750 farmhouse just around the corner–and see what life was like during the colonial era in what is now Arlington. Then continue on to the library for the talk. Cosponsored by the Glencarlyn Civic Association and the Arlington Historical Society (AHS).
