Great event! And that will leave time for you to travel a half-hour north to Surrattsville for a 4 pm program that day by Patsy Fletcher of the Historic Preservation Commission of D.C. She will be speaking on "Chillin' While Colored: 19th-Century African American Vacation Spots," focusing on the Mid-Atlantic. The program is free and is part of a series of Black History programs that Surratt House Museum has sponsored this year commemorating advancements made during and after freedom and Reconstruction.
