From lands once traveled by Indigenous peoples to the surveying of its streets by a young George Washington, Alexandria has long been shaped by the Potomac River’s pull. As the nation grew, its proximity to the Federal City placed it at the center of political, economic, and social change from the American Revolution through the civil rights movement and beyond. Today, Alexandria’s neighborhoods reveal this history. From Gadsby’s Tavern Museum in Old Town to Ben Brenman Pond in the West End, each neighborhood has important landmarks, big and small. Incorporating the newest research with historic and modern photographs, this updated edition reveals Alexandria’s evolution across centuries and celebrates a city whose past continues to shape the character of the Commonwealth and the nation.

Regular price $24.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Chelsy Clark Proper, director of the Berkeley County Museum, has selected images from various sources and called on some of the area’s most knowledgeable people to share the diverse story of this once sleepy community. Through maps, photographs, and paintings, Goose Creek traces its history from settlement to the present day.
Only a decade after the settlement of Charleston on the coast, English and French families made their way up the Cooper River to Goose Creek. The waterway, and then the parish and town, was likely named for the gooseneck-like bends in its path. Because of this early settlement date, Goose Creek is home to the second-oldest church building in the state as well as one of the oldest homes. Historically the location of great wealth but also great poverty, Goose Creek has always attracted all kinds of individuals. From the early Goose Creek Men to the national attention received by Gertrude Legendre and Medway Plantation, Goose Creek has claimed a spot in the minds of people across the world. Since officially incorporating as a city in 1961, Goose Creek has grown by leaps and bounds and shows no signs of stopping. What began as vast plantations has now become the eighth-most populous municipality in the state.
