Date Night (3)
Date Night with history AT HOME! Order from your favorite local restaurant, grab a glass of wine or beer, martini (a favorite of Bob Simon's!), and have a fun night in. Meet the "eligible artifacts" of Reston’s history and play Reston-themed games. Visit restonmuseum.org/datenight 5/29 at 5pm to get started! This event is free but donations are encouraged. Any donations made the weekend of the 29th will include Bob Simon's martini recipe. #reston #restonhistory #restonmuseum #datenight #datenightwithhistory
