Memorializing the Enslaved of Arlington: Dedication at Hall’s Hill/High View Park

May 30th is Neighborhood Day and Hall’s Hill/High View Park will commemorate its 160 year history beginning with this very special dedication.

Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington, 1669-1865

The Arlington Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington invite you to the unveiling of “Stumbling Stones.” Placed in the sidewalk at the last known sites where they were enslaved, these bronze markers commemorate the lives of people who helped build our county and our country.  Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington’s research has revealed over 2750 enslaved people and identified 1050 by name.

Please join us for the Dedication Ceremony honoring eight once enslaved individuals
