Giving Tuesday: Help Us Tell Our Story

Lee-Fendall was lived in as a family home for almost 200 years, from 1785 to 1969. This means that we can tell a broad, sweeping story that ranges from the early Republic to the Civil War and all the way up to the Civil Rights era. 

Put another way: when the house was built, the Constitution hadn't yet been written; the house's last resident owner died the same summer that people walked on the moon for the first time. Our story shows how life changed for people in the community, in the state, and in the nation over that span of time - and how much we still have in common with people who lived in the past.

This Giving Tuesday, we're asking our friends to help us raise $3,000 to keep telling those stories in 2020, through new tours,  exhibits, and special programs. Thank you for supporting local history and helping us tell Lee-Fendall's, Alexandria's, and the nation's story.
