Father's Day Open Houses in Historic Alexandria


Father's Day Open Houses in Historic Alexandria
Three Historic Alexandria Museums offer free events for fathers in Old Town Alexandria.

Friendship Firehouse Museum:
 The Friendship Firehouse Museum is free for fathers and their families on Father’s Day. The firehouse photographer will be on hand, so dads can take home a complimentary photograph. Come have a family portrait taken as you stand alongside the historic equipment that fought fires in early 19th–century Alexandria. See the suction pumper, and find out about artifacts such as parade hats and speaking trumpets. Youngsters will also receive a fire hat of their very own.
