For Immediate Release: February 20, 2024

Why does history matter?  Help Historic Alexandria answer this question! We want to know how we can support and engage you in 2024 and beyond. Please share your thoughts by taking this Annual Survey of Museum-goers today: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7639514/historicalexandria

Why this survey? 

The Historic Alexandria Museums - Alexandria Archaeology, Alexandria Black History, Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary, Gadsby’s Tavern Museum, Fort Ward Museum, the Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum, Friendship Firehouse Museum, and the Freedom House Museum - care deeply about making the history we share with you, our community, and our visitors, meaningful. 

We need your help! Our visitors come to us with different needs and values, and we want to understand them so we can best serve you. From how museums (like ours!) can help expand learning while also addressing the challenges our society is facing, we need to hear your thoughts. 

To learn more about how we can do this, we are participating in a national survey of museum-goers, sponsored by the American Alliance of Museums. This survey will provide us with data from our visitors as well as nationwide results for context, helping us be more effective in the coming months and in the communities we serve.

The survey only takes about 9 minutes to complete, but in those 9 minutes you will help our team make better decisions for our future. And as a thank you there will be an opportunity for you to win one of ten $100 Visa gift cards!

Simply go to https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7639514/historicalexandria to get started.

Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts!

P.S.: Participation in this national survey of museum goers is voluntary, and no questions are required. All responses to this survey will be kept confidential. Your response will not be used for any future solicitation. Participant information can be found here. If you have any problems with the survey itself, please contact the survey administrator, Jessica Strube, at jessica@wilkeningconsulting.com.
