Arlington Historical Museum Open FREE!

Step into the past and rediscover the stories that shaped Arlington! The Arlington Historical Museum invites you to explore a treasure trove of local history—because history is for everyone. Whether you're a lifelong resident or just curious, there's something new to uncover every time you visit.

Visit the Arlington Historical Museum’s voting rights exhibit "From Barriers to Ballots" at our museum. The exhibit features artifacts and documents about Arlington’s voting history including ballot boxes used when the Hume School was a polling place and a poll tax receipt--when you had to pay to be able to vote.
-- Learn about historic voting barriers in Arlington.
-- Use the ballot boxes to let us know what you think voting means today.
-- At 2:00 PM hear a 15-Minute History Spotlight about the history of voting in Arlington by Dr. Mark Benbow.
