Lee-Fendall House Museum and Garden has fall activities planned for all ages during October.
For those being homeschooled, there will be a Homeschool Day Archaeology event honoring Virginia Archaeology Month next Friday, October 16. Outdoor activities will feature information on excavations in Alexandria and at Lee-Fendall House.
A day later, on October 17, the museum will turn its attention to bootleggers and teetotalers as it presents its Prohibition in Alexandria Walking Tour. The one-and-a-half-hour tour will start at the museum and end at the Downham family home, one of Alexandria’s old prominent liquor dealers.
On October 23, 24, 30, and 31, the museum will celebrate the Halloween season with half-hour Grief and Ghosts tours. The tours will include mysterious occurrences, deaths associated with the museum, and séances.
Arlington families with children from ages 3 to 12 year old will want to bring the family to the Lee-Fendall House garden on Saturday, October 24 for a Fall Frolic. Everyone is invited to don their Halloween finery and kids can search for “ghosts”, bob for apples, go on a Trick or Treat Walk, make a witch’s cauldron suncatcher, and join in the costume parade.
Families taking part in events like these often take pictures of their little ones and take the photos to local Stationery printers to make personalized notecards.
Lee-Fendall House Museum and Garden is located at 614 Oronoco Street, Alexandria.
