Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Alexandria Waterfront

The African American Heritage Trail Committee invites the public to join in a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the installation of new interpretive signs along Alexandria’s historic waterfront. These 11 signs and 2 orientation panels illuminate the history of the African American community in Alexandria over the span of several centuries. The ribbon cutting will be held Saturday, February 10 at 11AM at the new Fishtown sign on the river side of Founders Park, 351 N. Union St. A reception following the ribbon cutting will be held in the Overlook Room (#325) on the third floor of the Torpedo Factory, 105 N. Union St.
