Get ready to party 1960s style. The Pope-Leighey House, the DMV’s only home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is celebrating six decades of preservation with a special open house tour and celebration. 

The one-night only event, 60 Years of Preserving: Celebrating Frank Lloyd Wright’s Pope-Leighey House, will be hosted on Saturday, June 7, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The evening will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the historic home’s move from Falls Church to its current home at Woodlawn in Alexandria. 

Throughout the night, guests will be able to take an open house tour, enjoy live entertainment in the backyard, and sample snacks as the sun sets. Make sure to make your way up to the Woodlawn property to check out the new exhibit, Saving Pope-Leighey House: How Marjorie Leighey Rescued her Frank Lloyd Wright Home. 

Tickets are $60 for adults, $20 for students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and free for kids 5 and under. All tickets also come with a complimentary drink ticket. 9000 Richmond Hwy., Alexandria
