Alexandria Historical Society is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, with the mission of promoting Alexandria and local history. Over our 50+ year existence AHS has shared research on local history primarily by presenting lectures and publishing thousands of pages in our Alexandria Chronicle as well as maintaining an online Audio and Video archives of many of our presentations. AHS also promotes local history by giving awards annually to both local historians and Alexandria high school students. We own no artifacts, records, or buildings, but we are in the process of developing a Digital Museum.
AHS REVOLUTIONARY WATCH PARTY
AHS REVOLUTIONARY WATCH PARTY
A Great Success!
In cased you missed it...
In cased you missed it...
...AHS Members, new members, friends, and visiting historians discussed the latest Ken Burns documentary at the Lyceum before a showing of the final episode. The TV series itself was deemed a success by our audience of historians and history lovers. All learned something new about our shared history. Our enthusiastic crowd was a great indicator of the level of interest Alexandria has in the upcoming SemiQuinCentennial or AMERICA250 / VA250 / ALEXANDRIA 250 events. As part of our local celebration, see the ever-growing list of talks, walks, Zooms, and other AHS 2026 Revolutionary Events. The Watch Party was sold out, so make sure you hear about the next event early enough to sign up by becoming an AHS Member. Also, consider a Gift Membership for friends or becoming a Sponsor of our annual History Awards and Grants programs.
2025 AHS History Grants will be formally announced in JANUARY.
