New Voting Rights Exhibit: From Barriers to Ballots AND History Spotlight

Visit the Arlington Historical Museum’s voting rights exhibit “From Barriers to Ballots.” 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. At 2:00 PM join us to hear the Vice-Chair of Arlington’s Electoral Board, Richard Samp, talk about the voting process in Arlington County today and how you can get involved. This is one of a series of community events commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. The Arlington Historical Museum is open every Sunday from 1–4 PM (Saturdays we’re open from 10-4.)
