Description

Lee-Fendall House's Annual Speakeasy Party Returns! The 20s are back in a big way! Please join the friends, board, and staff of the Lee-Fendall House Museum in our historic garden on Saturday, May 21st for Sips & Secrets: A Speakeasy Night. Sips & Secrets honors Lee-Fendall House's Prohibition-era history, when we were home to one of Alexandria's liquor wholesalers (and possible bootleggers!). It features lots of fun speakeasy surprises, including dancing to live jazz and ragtime, and costume contest for the best flapper or mobster style, 1920s-style cocktails, and more. This year, the event will raise funds for the repair of our 220-year-old brick garden wall, of which a 70-foot section collapsed last summer, while also supporting the museum's ongoing work in historic preservation, education, and community engagement. A private VIP pre-reception will precede the main event. Current Lee-Fendall House Museum & Garden members may attend as VIPs for the price of general admission - please email [email protected] or call (703) 548-1789 for a registration code. ************************************************************************************************** Sponsorship opportunities are available for companies, organizations, or individuals interested in being part of this event and supporting Lee-Fendall House's mission.
