Museum MakeoverThe Reston Museum closed (temporarily) on Dec 23. The museum will be closed from January through June 2009 while upgrades are made to our electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. Exhibit and store space will be re-configured and we plan on new displays of Reston history, along with rotating topical items. Check out the present construction progress, then take our monthly quiz of Reston's past, and stay tuned!
