Archaeology Along the Waterfront
Celebrate Virginia Archaeology Month with Robinson Landing and Alexandria Archaeology! The current site of Robinson Landing included one of the two original deep-water landings in Alexandria, and was later added to during the late 18th and early 19th century banking-out process that created new land along the waterfront. Test your 18th-century engineering skills and figure out a way to make new land without having it wash away into the Potomac, take part in a block-wide Scavenger Hunt, and join City archaeologists on timed walking tours of Robinson Landing.
Saturday, October 15
12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Guided Tour Times: 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. (30 min each)
Weather permitting. The event is free and open to the public, but tours are limited. Click here for more information and to reserve your guided tour time.
We hope you enjoy these events along the beautiful Old Town waterfront. To learn more about Robinson Landing and our final condominiums, click here.
