A section of the Pentagon wall destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks is among the exhibits at the Arlington Historical Museum, in Arlington, Virginia. It forms the recent end of a story that begins with Captain John Smith's encounter with Algonquin Native Americans in 1608 and continues to the near-present, told through a comprehensive collection of artifacts shown on rotating display.
The museum was established in 1962 and is operated by the Arlington Historical Society. It occupies the former Hume School, a building the Commonwealth of Virginia granted funds to improve in 1985. The same society also runs the 18th-century Ball-Sellers House as a historic house museum, so the museum suits visitors interested in the local history of Arlington from its earliest recorded encounters onward.
