Event Description: The Arlington Historical Society (AHS) will kick off its 2016 programming season on Thursday, January 14 with Michael Nardolilli’s lecture “How the C&O Canal and W&OD Railroad Shaped Arlington.” As a leader of both the C&O Canal Trust and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, Nardolilli became very familiar with the story of both of these transportation corridors. He will discuss the surprising connections between the towpath, trail, and the history of Arlington County. Michael Nardolilli is the executive director of the Montgomery Parks Foundation. His current volunteer positions include being vice chairman of the board of directors of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority and president of the Arlington Outdoor Lab (a 225-acre nature educational facility in Broad Run, Virginia). In the past, Nardolilli has served as president of the C&O Canal Trust, president of the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust, chairman of the East Falls Church Planning Task Force, chairman of the Arlington County Transportation Commission, and president of the Arlington East Falls Church Civic Association. In 2011, Mr. Nardolilli was selected as a “Green City Leader” by Washington Life Magazine and was named a WETA-TV “Hometown Hero” in 2007. The hour-long program will begin at 7:00pm at Marymount University (2807 N. Glebe Rd, Arlington, VA 22207). The talk will be held in the Reinsch Library auditorium. The program is free and open to the public. For additional AHS information, please contact 703-942-9247.
