About this Event
Sit in the shade of the Lee-Fendall garden and learn how the American Civil War impacted soldiers and civilians in Alexandria. During the war, African American refugees from slavery sought freedom in the city while Confederate sympathizers fled. Alexandria served as a major supply and staging area for the Union Army as well as a medical center. In addition, discover medical advancements and the use of plants to treat sick and wounded soldiers when Lee-Fendall House served as a Union hospital.
The talk is limited to 15 participants and lasts approximately one hour. Tickets are $10 for the general public and free for current museum members. Questions? Please call the museum (703-548-1789) or e-mail [email protected].
