Celebrate #CivicsSeason with (free!) pizza and history!

Join us for a special open house at Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House, a site with a profound legacy of transformation. Take a self-guided tour Learn how Woodlawn, a former plantation once part of George Washington’s Mount Vernon, became the site of an anti-slavery colony in the years before the Civil War.

Take a self-guided tour and engage in thoughtful reflection and dialogue about our shared past and its connection to today’s movements for justice.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to view the new exhibit “Saving Pope-Leighey House: How Marjorie Leighey Rescued Her Frank Lloyd Wright Home.”

Come hungry for history and pizza and leave inspired.
