I came down from Huntsville Alabama to visit this Museum. My family is actually from Green Valley and was one of the earliest arrivals in at area. I am a descendant of Levi's Jones who's mother and father was slaves at the Mount Vernon estate (Davy and Edy Jones). George Washington freed them in 1799 and they settled not too far from where they are now. Levi Jones owned over 20 acres of land in the area and was instrumental in both the founding and building Lomax AME Zion Church. His house was used as a place of worship while the church is being built.nnThe Museum is still small and still requires a lot of contribution from those who still live in the area. Many people who are still there have no idea how long their family lines have been in the Nauck Valley area and other Black communities in Arlington. Highly encourage everyone with knowledge and historical connection to the area attend the Museum and contribute stories, photos and artifacts that they may have. It's a very important component of our history and the Museum could be quite larger than it is if everyone steps in to contribute. Look forward to seeing it's growth and I will continue to donate and support the Museum.
Great little museum full of interesting details and stories about the history of black folk in Arlington, from the very beginning to present day. The curator was friendly and knowledgeable. It's a bit hard to find though, the website and some printed materials still refer to the museum as virtual only. When you're facing the building, the entrance is about 30 feet to the right of the main entrance. Go in, and up the stairs to the mezzanine level.
Super cool building. ORDER YOUR TICKETS EARLY, there's a long wait list. Otherwise call at 6am & hope someone has cancelled, so u can reserve it. Security does not play any games, lol.
