Since we have a burning passion for history, we’re very fired up about our next lecture.
,
Join us next Wednesday, June 26, at 7 pm at the Lyceum for Catherine Weinraub’s lecture, “From Buckets to Motors: The History of the Alexandria Fire Department.” Catherine is the historian and research assistant at Ivy Hill Cemetery and is also the historian of the Friendship Veterans Fire Engine Association. She is the author of a booklet about the Friendship Fire Company.

For her talk, Catherine will discuss the history of firefighting efforts in Alexandria. From bucket brigades to today’s modern fire engines, the techniques and tools that firefighters use have changed a lot over the years. The lecture will delve into some of the city’s noteworthy fires and how Alexandrians fought back against the flames.

The lecture will start at 7 pm, and doors will open at 6:30. The lecture is free for members. Nonmember tickets are $5. You can renew your membership at the door. Light refreshments will be provided.

First time at the Lyceum? It's located at 201 S Washington St, Alexandria, VA 22314
