Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House are two historic properties located in Alexandria, Virginia, operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Woodlawn, completed in 1805, was originally a plantation and later became a free labor colony, while the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Pope-Leighey House, built in the 1940s, showcases Usonian architecture and is the only one of its kind open to the public in the DC area. These sites are dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of enslaved people and free Black communities, offering a rich cultural heritage experience. Visitors can explore the grounds, participate in various programs, and rent event spaces for private and corporate gatherings. Generated from the website
