Anyone who’s been to the Reston Historical Museum will probably notice it mostly contains pictures and text. But that could change in the next few months when grants from Fairfax County are expected to fund a renovation.
The Washington Post is reporting the museum has a lot of collections and interactive exhibits they’d like to display:
“We have a lot of stuff that we don’t have room to display,” said Victoria Wingert, president of the museum’s parent organization, Reston Historic Trust. “We have oral histories on videos and would like to make the museum more interactive than it is today.”
The museums upgrade will hopefully draw more people to Lake Anne. The Reston Museum receives about 12,000 visitors a year, but those working to revitalize Lake Anne realize that every additional person in the center, particularly in the colder months, helps to improve the center until more people can brought in by the construction of more condo and office space.
