The Ball-Sellers House, located in the Glencarlyn neighborhood, is not only the county’s oldest surviving house but also encapsulates the entire history of Arlington. In many ways it is also a reflection of America’s transition from a former colony to the modern era. Arlington Historical Society‘s Chair of the Ball-Sellers House Annette Benbow will trace the changes the house has undergone over the years as its owners responded to new challenges and innovations. The Ball-Sellers House was built by John Ball and his family ca. 1750 and remained in use until it was donated to AHS by Marian Sellers in 1975. It is open for free guided tours every Saturday (1-4 PM) from April through October. You can visit the house on October 31, before we button it up for the winter. It is located at 5620 3rd Street, South. FREE but reservations recommended.
