Two evening programs remain in a four-part adult field trip series exploring Alexandria's African American history, with the next session taking place on Thursday at the Alexandria Archaeology Museum.
The series, organized by the Office of Historic Alexandria, is modeled after school field trip programs but expanded for adults, offering extra time with artifacts, primary sources, and hands-on activities. Earlier sessions took place at Freedom House Museum and the Alexandria Black History Museum.
On April 10, the program "Hayti: Uncovering an African American Neighborhood" will invite participants to explore the historic Hayti neighborhood through archaeology and material culture at the Alexandria Archaeology Museum, 105 N. Union St., Studio #327, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The session focuses on how archaeologists uncover stories of African American communities that once thrived in Alexandria.
The final program in the series, "African American Stories at Alexandria's Archives and Records Center," takes place May 8 at 801 S. Payne St. Participants will work directly with original documents, photographs, and records that illuminate African American life in the city.
Tickets are $15, or $12 for Grown-Up Field Trip members. Advance registration is recommended, and tickets can be purchased online.
