Join us on Tuesday, April 16, from 12-2 PM in Room B01 for lunch and a presentation by Jane Conner, local Stafford author and historian, will talk to us about Government Island (http://www.tourstaffordva.com/attraction/government-island/). She will talk about the interesting stone, famous men, architects, immigrant artisans, and free and enslaved laborers who built our Nation's Capitol and White House. Jane worked to save the island from destruction from 1979 until 2010 when the Stafford park was opened for all of us to enjoy.
The cost for this event is $5.
As a follow up to this presentation we will take trip on April 23 (rain date April 30) to Government Island to take the 1.5 mile hike and have a picnic lunch.
