about Alexandria Archaeology Museum:

The city of Alexandria has played an enormous role in the history of America. So it makes sense that the Alexandria Archaeology Museum exhibits tell the story of archaeologists and volunteers working to bring Alexandria's buried past to light. Excavated artifacts ranging from prehistory to the Civil War are on display.
