The restoration work on the Arlington Historical Museum is progressing nicely. During the past two months, repairs on the exterior brickwork have been completed, and almost all interior wall repairs and painting have been finished. Final work on the window repairs is expected to be completed in mid-January 2025. Since the museum is temporarily closed for refurbishment, volunteers have been refinishing display cases and preparing the facility for its reopening in early spring of 2025.
Thanks for your support and donations. Without them we would not be able to finish this important work. https://arlhist.org/support/donate/
