  Attics and Alleys tour\nGo behind the scenes of four local historic sites
 !\n\nWhat mysteries lie behind closed doors or in the attics of Alexandria
 's historic sites?  Attics and Alleys is a three-hour walking tour featuri
 ng the rarely seen spaces of four sites-the Lee-Fendall House\, Gadsby's T
 avern Museum\, the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum\, and Carlyle Hous
 e-revealing the remnants of stories otherwise hidden.  This behind-the-sce
 nes access is in honor of National Preservation Month\, and tickets are li
 mited and reservations are required.  \nTours will be offered every Saturd
 ay in May beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending around noon.  Tickets are $35 
 per person.  Tour includes stairs\, access to confined spaces\, and walkin
 g over many city blocks\, including through alleys.  Walking shoes require
 d.  Tour hosted rain or shine.\n\nSeldom-told stories will be featured at 
 each site.  At the Lee-Fendall House (614 Oronoco Street)\, learn the mean
 ing of the words "shabby dwelling" when you pass through the original serv
 ice quarters of the home and see how staff would have been on call.   Then
 \, enter into the basement by ducking under an original staircase fragment
  to see the basement rooms installed by the 20th century families and ghos
 tly evidence of changes made.   \nNext\, visitors walk to Gadsby's Tavern 
 Museum (134 N. Royal Street)\, passing the townhomes of some of Alexandria
 's most prominent early citizens\, including Lord Fairfax\, Henry Lee\, an
 d George Washington. The "spite" house\, built to enclose an alleyway and 
 to adjoin two neighboring houses\, is also an architectural curiosity to b
 e seen.  Gadsby's portion features access to the attic of the 1792 City Ho
 tel building\, which housed numerous hotel guests and longer-term resident
 s.  Guests will be able to examine the architectural and restoration detai
 ls up close in this rarely-viewed space.  \n\nA short walk away is the Sta
 bler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum (105-107 S. Fairfax Street)\, which is o
 pening the third floor of its 19th century pharmacy retail shop and labora
 tory for the first time in over70 years.  The third floor is a turn-of-the
 -century time capsule of a wholesale drug business and visitors will disco
 ver a myriad of objects from the Museum's original collection\, from graff
 iti-covered beams to the wheel and axel once part of a manual freight elev
 ator.  \n\nVisitors then wind their way through back alleys to see archite
 ctural elements from Alexandria's past and end at Carlyle House (121 N. Fa
 irfax Street)\, where the tour concludes with a journey under the terrace 
 to see the "rubble room."  Here original stone elements and items from the
  1970s renovation are stored to preserve the original fabric of the buildi
 ng.\n\nFor information and tickets\, please contact Gadsby's Tavern Museum
  at 703.746.4242. Tickets for this event can also be purchased at the onli
 ne shop.  Reservations are required.  \n\nLocation: Lee-Fendall House\nCon

 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=7776\n\nWhen Virginia joined th
 e Confederacy\, Union troops occupied Alexandria and it became a center fo
 r transportation\, supplies and medicine.  Most municipal functions were a
 ssumed by the U.S. Army under the authority of the military governor.  The
  "We've Been Burned:  Alexandria Firefighters During the Civil War" walkin
 g tour will explore firefighting during the Union occupation.  How were vo
 lunteer fire companies treated by Federal authorities? Were firefighters a
 llowed out after curfew?  What happened to the firehouses and equipment?  
  These questions will be answered as tour participants visit the sites of 
 four of the five fire houses\, and learn what happened if there was a fire
  in the occupied city.\n\nFor age 10 and older. Reservations are required\
 , as space is limited.  Telephone 703.746.4994\, or see www.friendshipfire
 house.net.    \n\n\n\nLocation: Friendship Firehouse Museum\, 107 S. Alfre
