Donaldson Exterior

Thomas Balch Library has a new venue for sharing Leesburg’s history, the Donaldson Log Cabin, located at 14 Loudoun St. SW next to the Town Hall Parking Garage.  

Staff and volunteers are using the space for processing archival collections and hosting pop-up exhibits during Leesburg’s popular First Friday events. Exhibits and events will be scheduled at the cabin throughout the year.

 

First Friday at the Donaldson Cabin: Power and Water

Can you imagine Leesburg without electric lights and running water? Access to public utilities has shaped life in Leesburg. Stop by the Cabin to learn some of the unique stories connected with the establishment and evolution of utilities in Leesburg. Learn what downtown was like by gaslight, when the first electric light was installed and where, and the hard work to keep the water system running.

Drop in at any time during the event. No registration required.
