The Alleghany Historical Society will celebrate the upcoming City of Covington downtown events with extra hours at the Discovery Center and the Depot.
On Friday, July 29th for Rock the Block, we will be open from 12:00 to 9:00. On Saturday, July 30th for Down on Main Street, we will open from 3:00 to 9:00. On Saturday, August 13th, we will be open from 11:00 to 5:00 during Street Scene downtown. We are looking for volunteers to help with both locations. Please contact Cindy Arthur, manager at the Discovery Center, at 540-962-8007 if you can help.
Please plan to come out and visit us. The Discovery Center has many interactive, STEM,
activities for the children. Crowd favorites include the snap circuits with flying discs and the
Meccano interative robot. The more mature visitors enjoy the history in general, the Jordan
Mines exhibit and the interactive blast furnace.
Admission is free, but a donation is suggested. We look forward to having you visit, interact, and learn local history and industry. The Depot is located at 149 Maple and the Alleghany Highlands Industrial Heritage and Technoloy Discovery Center is located at 227 N Maple Avenue.
