HistoryFest is now history. However, its impact will continue to be felt as over 1,500 people came out to Kenmore Middle School to learn more about Arlington's history.

The Commander-in-Chief's Guard (CINC Guard), officially Company A, 4th Battalion, 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment ("The Old Guard"), is an elite Army unit based at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia.

When Jessica mentioned that one enslaved woman went to court to sue for her freedom, and that her case went all the way to the US Supreme Court, I asked her for more information. In March 2025, Jessica obliged with links to the court documents and two articles on Julia Roberts v. Austin Adams and Anne Harding. AHS Board member (and lawyer) Sean Denniston gave me further guidance on locating legal documents online.
