The Curious Case of Patrick Buckley

About

Step back in time to November 17th, 1912 when the body of local tour guide Patrick Buckley was found on the grounds of the Braddock House. At this walking scavenger hunt around Old Town, you'll explore Buckley's tour haunts and retrace the steps he took that tragic night to determine if this was a dreadful accident or a malicious murder.

Registration is highly recommended but not required.

Please note that this program will take participants through parts of Old Town Alexandria that have uneven walking surfaces so wearing appropriate shoes is a must. This program will take place rain or shine and is outside so please dress for the weather.
