Around the Hearth: An Original Play About the Oldest House in Arlington

Poster for 'Around the Hearth' play by Two Arlington Alumni; black-and-white house image above a circular hearth photo.

Join the Arlington Historical Society for an encore performance of “Around the Hearth,” a play about the people who have lived in the oldest building in Arlington County. Families living in this mid-18th century farmhouse experienced colonial Virginia, the American Revolution, the tumult of the 19th century, and the growing pains of the 20th.
