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: History of the Donaldson Log Cabin

One of Leesburg’s oldest structures, the Donaldson Log Cabin has an interesting story of its own to tell. September’s pop-up exhibit will focus on the history of the structure, from its beginning as an 18th century silversmiths shop to efforts to preserve the structure in the 1960s and beyond. Visitors will learn about the records and tools available for researching historic buildings like the Cabin and how to get started researching their own properties.

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