The Reston Museum was founded in 1996 as a community nonprofit organization that preserves the past, informs the present and influences the future of Reston through its exhibits, public programs and events including Founder’s Day, the Reston House Tour, and Lake Anne Cardboard Boat Regatta. Reston Museum is located at Lake Anne Plaza, is free to visit and offers exhibits and a gift shop. 

Meet the SLHS STEAM Team
Meet the students and learn about their experiences working on their annual public art project. Now in its twelfth year, the SLHS STEAM Team has been creating temporary public art installations for the Lake Thoreau spillway – a utilitarian drainage platform. Guided by STEAM Team advisor and SLHS Art Teacher, Marco Rando, and proudly supported by Public Art Reston, Reston Community Center and Reston Association, the STEAM Team gains real-world experience by following the same process required for a professional artist to realize a public artwork in Reston. Students use all the elements of “STEAM” – Science, Technology, Art and Mathematics – to realize the sculptures.
