Lonely Planet review

Memorabilia documenting the black experience in Alexandria are on display at this small resource center (enter from Wythe St). Pick up a brochure for self-guided walking tours of important local sites. In the next-door annex, the Watson Reading Room has a wealth of books and documents on African American topics. The African American Heritage Park (Holland Lane) is worth a stop to see headstones from a 19th-century black cemetery.
