  Alexandria and the Northern Virginia Urban League are excited to announce
  a collaboration for Black History Month. On Saturdays during February\, F
 reedom House Museum will be open for self-guided tours from 1-5 p.m.\n\nLo
 cated at 1315 Duke Street\, The Freedom House Museum was once the headquar
 ters and holding pen for the largest domestic slave trading firm in the Un
 ited States\, Franklin and Armfield. Enslaved people were brought from the
  Chesapeake Bay area and forced to the slave markets in Natchez\, Mississi
 ppi and New Orleans either by foot or ship. After Franklin and Armfield va
 cated the building in 1836\, James Birch\, the trader who had sold Solomon
  Northup\, author of Twelve Years a Slave\, in Washington DC moved his ope
 ration into the building in 1858. Birch and his partner used the building 
 as their headquarters until 1861\, when the city was occupied by the Union
  Army. \n\nThe building is currently owned by the Northern Virginia Urban 
 League and together with the Office of Historic Alexandria\, we invite you
  to visit the museum in this historic reminder of slavery.\n\nGroups of 7 
 or more should contact 703.746.4739 at least one week in advance to arrang
 e a time to visit. \n\n\n\nLocation: See Details\nContact Phone: 703.746.4
