DESCRIPTION:To make sure the time\, location\, and other aspects have not c
 hanged\, or to share this event with your friends\, please see https://app
 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=30867\n\nThis year\, the staff 
 of the Historic Alexandria Museums is raising money to support the preserv
 ation of the Freedom House Museum. This National Historic Landmark\, locat
 ed at 1315 Duke Street\, was "ground zero" for the domestic slave in the C
 hesapeake region. Between 1828 and 1861\, thousands of men\, women\, and c
 hildren were sent by ship or forcibly marched to the lucrative slave marke
 ts in Natchez and New Orleans. Agents of the slave dealers purchased indiv
 iduals throughout Maryland and Virginia and brought them to the Alexandria
  Slave Pen before transport to the Deep South. The names of the enslaved c
 an be seen today on ship manifests and court records.  This year your dona
 tion will support this important ?national landmark by helping us create a
  Freedom House Preservation Fund. Currently\, over 2 million dollars in fu
 nding is needed to preserve and restore this building. To be able to inter
 pret its history\, the building must be made safe and accessible for all v
 isitors. Since so many sites related to the domestic slave trade no longer
  exist\, it is imperative that we save this most important artifact - the 
 building itself! \n\n\n\nLocation: See Details\nAudience: Anyone may atten
