Our speaker, Beth DeFrancis Sun has done ground breaking research on the mills of what has become Arlington County and she’ll share her findings
. From the colonial era to early America until mills were no longer key to the county’s development.
Beth DeFrancis Sun is a librarian, writer, and ardent seeker of missing historical evidence, hidden treasure, and invisible histories. She spends much of her free time reading historical fiction and rambling along stream beds in search of old mills ruins. She has a bachelor’s degree in English from Penn State University and a master’s degree in Library and Information Studies from the University of Maryland.
