SUMMARY:Dedication of Two Stumbling Stones in Fairlington
DESCRIPTION: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 country) and are placed in the sidewalk at the last known site of their enslavement. Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington’s research has revealed over 2750 enslaved people and identified 1050 by name.\n\n\n\nWe will honor two individuals once enslaved in what is now the Fairlington neighborhood. These have been approved by the civic association and the Arlington Villages Condo Assoc. The Stones will be laid in the Southeast corner of Abingdon Street and 29th Street\, South.\n\nJohn Carlyle owned a 250-acre plantation called Torthorwald from around 1765-1783 that covered much of Fairlington. Historical records confirm that the following two people were enslaved there. \n\nHarry: Born ca. 1770\nMilley: Born ca. 1755\n\nSee more information about the Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington project: https://enslavedarl.org/s/memorializing-the-enslaved-in-arlington/page/about
