The Arlington Historical Society again is teaming with Cherrydale-Columbia Masonic Lodge 42 in the annual student-essay competition focused on local history.
The competition is open to students in grades 8 to 12, and focuses on the following topic:
“Arlington was once a rural area, but now has developed into an urban community with modern infrastructure and population density. Amid this ongoing change, how can we Arlingtonians remember and preserve our history? In what ways has Arlington successfully preserved its history that can help guide us in the future.
The deadline for submissions is June 30; financial prizes are awarded for the winning essays. For information, see the Website at www.arlingtonhistoricalsociety.org.
