Edward Douglass White
Knights of Columbus Council #2473

Edward Douglass White is one of the largest Knights of Columbus Councils in the country. We serve as the Council for 4 local parishes and have well over 1,000 members. In addition, we're proud of our amazing "campus". A historic stone mansion sitting proudly atop a sprawling green hill in north Arlington serves as our Council Home. This main house with it's bar and club rooms serves as the fraternal hub for our organization--a respite in the DC metro area where fine conversation and friendly faces are always on tap.

In addition, EDW has a large banquet facility with full and complete catering operation. This serves as a lovely location for weddings and parties for members and non-members alike. Also, EDW is home to a large recreational swimming facility including 2 large pools, a baby pool, a full-service snackbar, picnic grounds, and more.
