Senior Citizens Center

The Arlington Senior Citizens Center opened in the fall of 2003 to serve as a gathering place for Arlington's Senior Citizens. The building is a replica of Arlington's original railroad depot station from the late 1800's known as "Withe Depot". Seniors (ages 50 and over) meet at the center to enjoy each other's company in a variety of ways. Check out the monthly calendars below. Applications are available at the center, Town Hall or you can find it below.

We offer exercise on Monday's, Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Friday's. Please check the calendar for more information.
