Arlington celebrates National Preservation Month this May by highlighting the people and places that helped shape the city\u2019s 150-year history, while the nation prepares for its 250th anniversary in 2026.<\/p>\n

Mayor Jim Ross issued a proclamation on May 5 that officially designates May 2026 as National Preservation Month in Arlington. The proclamation recognizes the individuals, organizations and volunteers who actively protect the city\u2019s historic places and ensure Arlington\u2019s heritage remains visible for future generations.<\/p>\n

City officials highlighted Arlington\u2019s Local Historical Marker Program<\/a>, which features 56 designated landmarks and two National Register historic districts. To kick off the month, the Landmark Preservation Commission installed \u201cHistory Happens Here\u201d yard signs at all 56 Local Landmarks. The signs celebrate both National Preservation Month and Arlington\u2019s sesquicentennial. Residents are encouraged to visit landmark locations, explore their history and keep the signs up beyond May in honor of the milestone year.<\/p>\n

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, Arlington is using this moment to celebrate the people, places and stories that built the community.<\/p>\n
