The Arlington Historical Museum in Arlington, Virginia houses a comprehensive artifact collection on rotating display.[1] Its exhibits interpret the history of the area from Captain John Smith's encounter with Algonquin Native Americans in 1608 to the near-present, including a section of the Pentagon wall that was destroyed during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Established in 1962, the Arlington Historical Museum is operated by the Arlington Historical Society.[2] It is housed in the former Hume School.
In 1985, through Warren G. Stambaugh, the Commonwealth of Virginia granted US$35,000 to improve the building.[3]
The Society also operates the 18th-century Ball-Sellers House as a historic house museum and participates in many community events annually.
