Dominion Hills Civic Association is pleased to be one of the 12 recipients of a grant from the Arlington County Historic Preservation Fund. According to a press release from Arlington County, the fund was "created to provide a unique opportunity to invest in the future of preservation in Arlington County by administering funds in support of community and individual projects related to the County’s history, built environment, and cultural heritage."

The Dominion Hills Historic Interpretation Project will work to create three historic markers near the former location of the Febrey-Lothrop Estate. This land represents a rich swath of Arlington’s history, and the signage will include information about the Powhatan people, the Civil War, and the 20th century. These new markers will allow residents and visitors to share in this forgotten history.

Work will include community outreach, historic research and interpretation, and collaboration with Toll Brothers to determine the placement of the signage. Work will proceed through the winter with the hope of installing signs by spring 2024.
