Event Details:Due to shortage of staff and volunteers as well as low attendance, the Office of Historic Alexandria (OHA) has decided to close its sites to the public starting March 17. Public programs at OHA sites through April 12 have been cancelled or rescheduled. OHA staff will reach out to guests who have made reservations for these events, as well as for pre-arranged tours, rentals, and birthday parties scheduled during this time.
Due to the changing nature of the situation, we are not announcing a reopening date at this time and will provide updates on our website. For additional information about the City of Alexandria’s actions, visit https://www.alexandriava.gov/Coronavirus.
The following properties are impacted by this closure:
