Join us in Old Town Alexandria each second Friday of the month for a concert sponsored by The Folklore Society of Greater Washington (FSGW) and The Office of Historic Alexandria. Concerts rotate between Lloyd House at 220 North Washington Street and the Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum (AHM) at 201 South Washington Street. All concerts run from 6-8 p.m. Suggested donation for the musicians, light refreshments available, and a cash bar.

This exhibition traces the experiences of local people during the first World War. The homes, hospitals, factories and shipyards of wartime Alexandria come back to life through the use of rare images, archival and modern-day video clips, quotes from participants, original objects including weapons, period music, and scale models. Exhibit open June 30, 2017 through November 11, 2019
