The Lee-Fendall House is an excellent resource for teachers of American and local history. The history of the Lee-Fendall House began in 1784, when Revolutionary War hero “Light Horse Harry” Lee, father of Confederate General Robert E. Lee sold the property to his cousin, and follows our nation’s struggles and successes from its early years as a republic through the tumultuous Civil War years when convalescing Union soldiers were housed here and into the 20th century when labor leader John L. Lewis bought the house. A beautiful collection of Lee family heirlooms and other period pieces produced by Alexandria craftsmen help to tell the story of early Victorian family life in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.

The house is open for tours where guests are able to explore the stunningly restored house and award-winning gardens. Special events and lectures are regularly scheduled. Youth and scout programs can be arranged.

Central Insurance started out in 1876 as a fire insurance company. The threat of a disastrous fire was always very real and the equipment used to fight fire primitive. F. W. "Bill" Purmort, Jr., President of Central from 1964 to 1994, first took an interest in collecting fire equipment in 1969. He gradually built Central's museum into one of the finest privately owned collections in the U.S. The museum exhibits a collection of leather fire buckets dating back to the 1700s; over 600 antique fire toys consisting of cast-iron, rubber, glass, tin, and wood construction; a large display of fire extinguishers and glass fire "grenades" dating from the 1850s; a rare and valuable collection of "firemarks" dating back to 1720; a wardrobe of antique fireman helmets and uniforms; Van Wert's first hand-drawn pumper used in 1871; an Ahrens horse-drawn steam pumper which was purchased new in 1907 by the city of Van Wert and restored by Central; and a 1926 Ahrens-Fox pumper, the Rolls Royce of firetrucks.
