You probably know that Arlington was once a part of Washington D.C... but did you know that the stones marking the 1790 boundary are some of our oldest federal monuments? You can visit them today, online and in person!

We have raised over $100,000 -enough to
restore half of the Hume School windows. But we still need to waterproof the exterior to support the leaking foundation, repoint the brick façade, and address safety issues surrounding the entrance. Donate at https://t.co/Sak3k8Db5Y
