Temporary Exhibit: Arlington Changemakers 250

The Arlington Historical Museum is currently featuring two exciting temporary exhibits that celebrate the community's heritage and the impact of immigration. The first exhibit, "Arlington Changemakers 250," acknowledges local leaders, advocates, educators, and innovators who have significantly shaped Arlington's history and community through their contributions. This installment of the rotating Changemakers exhibit invites visitors to reflect on the transformative power of individuals within the community as part of the Arlington 250 celebration.

Simultaneously, the museum is hosting "We the People," a traveling exhibition from the Virginia Museum of History & Culture that opened on July 12. This exhibit delves into the rich and diverse experiences of immigrants who have enriched Virginia's culture, economy, and identity from the colonial era to the present. Through a collection of stories, images, and historical materials, "We the People" explores what it means to be a Virginian and an American. Both exhibits collectively highlight the significance of community contributions and the ongoing narrative of immigration in shaping Virginia's identity.
