Come and hear about the least known residents of this 275 year old farmhouse: the three known enslaved people. Jessica Kaplan, research lead for the Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington project will talk about who they were and what we know. This joint project between the Arlington historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington laid the first “stumbling stones” at the Ball-Sellers House to honor their memory. Also! free tours of the house from 1-4. All ages welcome! The Ball-Sellers House is celebrating 50 years of ownership of this c.1750 farmhouse. We’re launching a new mini history series called “15 Minute History” twice a month on select Saturdays at 2:00 pm.
