Firefighters During the Civil War Tour

When Virginia joined the Confederacy, Union troops occupied Alexandria and most municipal functions were assumed by the U.S. Army.

This walking tour explores firefighting during the occupation by Union Troops during the Civil War. Participants visit sites of four of the five firehouses and learn what happened if there was a fire.

Tickets are $6 for adults, $4 ages 10-17; reservations are required, as space is limited.
