We're open early today because we are also at the Glencarlyn Community Garden Springfest so you can come and tour the house after you're done at the Glencarlyn Library just around the corner. The Ball-Sellers House is a captivating historical site near the heart of Arlington. Built c. 1750, this farmhouse is one of the oldest structures in the region and offers a unique glimpse into the life and times of the 18th century. The Ball-Sellers House is not just a museum; it is a living history experience where you can learn about the challenges and triumphs faced by those who lived in this home. The house is a testament to the region’s rich history and showcases the lifestyle of early American settlers. Visitors can explore the well-preserved structure, which features original architectural elements and period furnishings that transport you back in time. As you walk through the rooms, knowledgeable guides share intriguing stories and insights about the house’s inhabitants and its historical significance. Whether you’re a history buff, a family looking for an educational outing, or a curious traveler, the Ball-Sellers House promises an enriching experience that captures the spirit of early America. The museum is open to visitors on Saturdays from 1-4 PM. Plan your visit to make the most of this unique opportunity. Visit on a Saturday to take advantage of the open hours. Join a guided tour for stories of the people who lived here and insights into the house’s history. Check the historical society’s website for any special events or programs. arlhist.org/events/
