Alexandria Local Authors Lecture and Book Signing Series
Join the Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum for three history lectures and book signings by local Alexandria historians.
March 10, 2020: The series continues with Dr. Anna Gibson Holloway, co-author of “Our Little Monitor,” The Greatest Invention of the Civil War. Dr. Holloway will highlight how this new “machine” became “the pet of the people” ― a vessel celebrated in prints, tokens, and household bric-a-brac; a marketing tool; and a prominent feature in parades, Sanitary Fairs, and politics. Dr. Holloway received her undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, and her M.A. and Ph.D. from the College of William and Mary.
Tickets for the lectures are $10.
