The Arlington Historical Museum in Arlington, Virginia houses 350,000 artifacts 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 letter exchange between local students and Ronald Reagan following the assassination attempt on Reagan.
Established in 1962, the Arlington Historical Museum is operated by the Arlington Historical Society.[2] It is housed in the former Hume School.
The Society also operates the 18th-century Ball-Sellers House as a historic house museum.
