The schoolhouse holding a piece of the Pentagon

The Arlington Historical Museum in Arlington, Virginia, houses a comprehensive artifact collection on rotating display. Its exhibits interpret the history of the area from Captain John Smith's encounter with Algonquin Native Americans in 1608 to the near-present. This includes a section of the Pentagon wall that was destroyed during the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Established in 1962 and operated by the Arlington Historical Society, the museum is housed in the former Hume School. The Commonwealth of Virginia provided a grant of US$35,000 in 1985, through Warren G. Stambaugh, to improve the building.

The Society also operates the 18th-century Ball-Sellers House as a historic house museum and participates in many community events annually.
