Great overview of history of Alexandria. The Fresnel lens’ are so cool. The staff and gift shops are bonuses. Really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend a stop in.

This is a gem in Alexandria City! A quaint museum with great information. You need less than an hour to go through the exhibition and gift shop. Highly recommend 🤙

A regional museum that informs the visitor of Alexandria's complex history. I like the way it tracks the rise of the town until the devastation of the American Civil War, and then the struggle to find relevance then after. The physical development of the town is explained. Special exhibitions are good (March 2019): Alexandria and WW1; and a display of clothing items from the 19th century. The building, respectfully restored, is a fine example of early architecture in the town. Well worth a visit.

Small and free museum in a central location of the historical district of Alexandria. The exhibits are okay. The artefacts are not special but the descriptions are of interest. The gift store is excellent and has some wonderful unique items of local interest. Also if you have a Lighthouse Passport you can get the stamp at the gift store desk you just have to ask for it.

Wonderful space to rent for small concerts and recitals. The piano sounds good and is well maintained. Rental fee is very reasonable. There’s a bit of street noise but nothing that is too distracting.
