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 manager 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.
