November 5, 2022 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
The Fredericksburg Area Museum (FAM) is pleased to announce the opening of its new
exhibition A Monumental Weight: The ‘Auction Block’ in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This exhibit
will feature the City of Fredericksburg’s ‘Auction Block’ which was removed from the corner of
William and Charles Streets in the summer of 2020. Recognizing the immense historical and
emotional significance of this complex object, the FAM has worked with members of the
community to create this exhibit.
The Fredericksburg Area Museum invites museum members and the entire Fredericksburg
community to the opening of this expanded exhibition on Saturday, November 5th from 4:30 –
6:00 p.m. Attendees will hear remarks from community members and museum staff and
receive the opportunity to view and learn more about the development of the updated
exhibition. The opening will be free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. For
