Tyler Harry, a Boy Scout with Arlington’s Troop 164, wanted his Eagle Scout Service project to be historic. As a result, he submitted a proposal in November 2024 to organize the design, construction, and installation of two display cases for the Arlington Historical Society’s Museum. Tyler coordinated the project with the museum’s Collection Manager, Bethany Baker. She said the timing could not have been better since the museum is renovating.
