Reston History: Where is the Reston Museum?



Reston Lake Anne spring

 

 

 

 

 

Sue: What suggestions do you have for how to spend a few hours on Saturday afternoon in Reston?

I like discovering the history of things, by the way.

Steve: Well Sue, how about the history of Reston?

Head on down to the Reston Museum at Lake Anne Plaza, just off Baron Cameron (Route 606).

 

Afterwards, you can sit bench-ingly with the good looking founder of Reston with a water view backdrop.


*You can see an actual video interview that I did with the statue of Robert E. Simon right here*

 

Sue: Is the Reston Museum where you get some of your historical insight?

Steve: Actually Sue, several years ago, the one time I did not check a historical reference found on line through the Reston Museums info. site...

.. my Discovering Reston Blog post was politely commented upon by a member of the Museum's board of directors.

She suggested that I send history buffs to visit the museum and site so that they could get the TRUE scoop on Reston's amazing development.

So GO!

Sue: My boyfriend Charlie does not want to do the museum thing ...is there someplace he can swill beer while I am at the museum?

 

 Steve:  Sue, you are in luck. Lake Anne Village Center has got everything both you and Charlie need for a swell afternoon.

He can relieve the weekly stress... bending an elbow, quaffing fine libations while you uplift your mind at the museum.

Afterward, you've got great dining choices within a couple hundred feet of the museum or wherever Charlie is drinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reston Town Center

 

Diane: What are some things you have seen at the museum?

Steve: If you have been driving on Soapstone between Lawyers Rd and Glade in the past months, you have seen lots of big rocks being imported and heavy machinery working on the stream bed there.

 

This is part of a multi-year project for improving the Reston watershed areas. I learned what that is happening there from the Reston Museum


You can see pictures of the situation here Glade and Snakeden watershed projects

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reston LakesThere are on-going art and photography exhibits. (I am going next week to see those.)

As well as special classes and lecture series ....and of course you can learn the amazing history of the original American planned community gem that is Reston.

Check out the Reston Museum schedule on the link right there Sue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reston Lakes

 

 

Sue: Charlie and I will go this Saturday based on your recommendation.

Steve: Good plan Sue. It is open 10-5 pm. Stay late. Take a stroll around the lake and shops and watch the sunset while dining waterfront.

We will be there.

I will be the good looking guy with the camera and tripod...attempting to capture better shots than the ones in here that my daughter took.





...Oh yeah. And if you don't already own a place in Reston, drop us a line and we will help you find a beauty.
