Explore Civil War Alexandria

June 4 – R.E. Lee Camp Hall Museum Open

Lee Camp #2 for the United Confederate Veterans. Today the museum houses a collection of Civil War artifacts, including Confederate uniforms, flags, and camp items and other artifacts of the 17th Virginia Infantry Regiment CSA. Several Lee family items are also housed there. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. For more information, emailrelcamphall@hotmail.com or call 703.519.2123.
