 House Museum\, located at 1315 Duke Street\, occupies part of a historic c
 omplex once used for trafficking thousands of Black men\, women\, and chil
 dren from 1828 to 1861. Operated in partnership with the Urban League of N
 orthern Virginia\, the Office of Historic Alexandria began assisting with 
 museum operations in February 2018\, eventually purchasing the building in
  2020. After reopening in May 2022 with three floors of temporary exhibits
 \, the next step involved crafting a Comprehensive Plan.\n\nThe Office of 
 Historic Alexandria\, in close collaboration with the community and stakeh
 olders\, has embarked on the development of this Comprehensive Plan. This 
 strategic document will chart the course for the future use\, interpretati
 on\, and preservation of the Freedom House Museum site.\n\nFor additional

DESCRIPTION:To make sure the time\, location\, and other aspects have not c

 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=57455\n\nJoin us Saturday\, May
  18 in front of Friendship Firehouse Museum at 107 South Alfred Street for
  a muster of over 15 antique\, hand-drawn firefighting apparatus. Particip
 ating vehicles will include 19th-century suction fire engines and hose ree
 l carriages. Suction engines\, invented in the early 19th century\, drew w
 ater from wells\, hydrants\, and other sources through a hose\, and provid
 ed a powerful and constant stream of water. The first hoses were typically
  made in 50-foot lengths\, and only a few pieces could be carried on the f
 ire engine itself\, so additional vehicles were created specifically to ca
 rry extra lengths of hose.    \n\nFire was a constant danger in a town of 
 mostly wooden buildings\, where open flames provided heat\, light\, and co
 oking.  The Friendship\, Sun\, Relief\, Hydraulion\, and Star volunteer fi
 re companies served the community faithfully\, particularly during enormou
 s blazes in 1827\, 1855\, and 1871. \n\nFriendship Firehouse Museum's hist
 oric firefighting vehicles includes the Prettyman Hose Reel Carriage\, bui
 lt in Alexandria in 1858 by coachmaker\, and Friendship Fire Company membe
 r\, Robert Prettyman. It was ornately decorated and fitted with two large 
 bells to sound the alarm as the vehicle bounced through Alexandria's stree
 ts. Thanks to fundraising efforts led by the Friendship Veterans Fire Engi
 ne Association\, the Prettyman hose carriage recently underwent much neede
 d conservation\, returning to Friendship Firehouse in 2022.  \n\nOver 15 a
 dditional hose reel carriages and suction engines from throughout the regi
 on will be on display outside of the Friendship Firehouse Museum on the 10
 0 block of South Alfred Street. Friendship & Firefighting in Alexandria is
  sponsored by the Friendship Veterans Fire Engine Association and the Offi
 ce of Historic Alexandria. Admission is free.\n\n\nLocation: Friendship Fi
