Join members of the original restoration team in a dialogue about the specific conservation, repair and restoration steps undertaken 50 years ago and whether the same paths would be taken today.

'The Preservation of Carlyle House' will take place on Saturday, March 7, 4-6pm, at the Historic Alexandria, VA Alexandria History Museum at the Lyceum, 201 S Washington St, Alexandria, VA 22314.
