SUMMARY:Gentleman's Gambit: A Prohibition Era Mystery
DESCRIPTION:  \nUPDATE: Gentleman’s Gambit tickets are now SOLD OUT. Thank you so much for your support!\nOn January 17\, 1920\, the United States went dry. The 18th Amendment ushered in a new era in American history\, one characterized by booming business\, new fashions\, and immense cultural upheaval. And in the nation’s capital\, politicians\, bootleggers\, activists\, and everyone else in between all lived side by side\, helping texture the stories from the past we tell today. They lived in an America of dynamic change. The march of progress that dominated this new modern era resulted in the banning of alcohol\, with personal freedom sacrificed to preserve a perceived sense of collective morality. Washingtonians grappled with this paradox of prohibition in different ways\, shaping events\, influencing popular culture\, and transforming American society. We invite you to join us for a one night only\, one-of-a-kind immersive experience. Discover\, detect\, and deduce at Gentleman’s Gambit: A Prohibition Era Mystery. \n \nGentleman’s Gambit is an interactive\, immersive\, outdoor theater experience and fundraiser where visitors are invited to journey back to the Prohibition Era. Featuring live music\, thematic cocktails\, a costume contest\, period dancing lessons\, costumed actors\, and an interactive history hunt\, Gentleman’s Gambit is the perfect way to delve into DC’s past. \nLegendary DC Bootlegger William Frank Dement\, long put to rest at our historic burial ground\, has returned for one night only and he has brought the dark secrets of his own past for a final reckoning with the circumstances of his untimely death. Team up with others or take up the challenge yourself to solve the mystery\, win a prize\, and complete the Gentleman’s Gambit! \nYour Contribution: \nWhile our immersive experiences and live theater events are tons of fun\, they are also important fundraisers that benefit the preservation\, maintenance\, and repair of over 25\,000 memorial stones\, tombstones\, and graves at Historic Congressional Cemetery This work is ongoing and remains a critical component of our non-profit mission.

SUMMARY:Peterbug's Juneteenth 5k
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2nd Annual Peterbug’s Juneteenth 5k sponsored by Fulcrum Residential\, A Celebration of the DC Historic Landmark Designation and Juneteenth. Every year in June\, the corner of E Street & Peterbug Matthews Way SE comes alive to celebrate the contribution of John “Peterbug” Matthews and the remembrance of Juneteenth. This year\, we add to our celebration the designation of the Peterbug Academy as a contributing landmark in Capitol Hill\, thanks to the preservation efforts of former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson who donated the land to the District where the Peterbug Academy now sits. We will be honoring her contribution with a planting ceremony in conjunction with the Lady Bird Johson’s Wildflower Center. \nFor more than 45 years Mr. Matthews and the Peterbug Academy has been an integral piece of the Capitol Hill community. His shoe repair academy has provided a much-needed service to his neighbors and an incomparable opportunity to make a difference in the lives of neighborhood children. Since 1977 he has been “saving soles and heeling people” while supporting the greenest form of all transportation – our feet! Kick off a celebration of Juneteenth weekend by walking\, jogging\, or running this 5K. Then hang around and walk in the Peterbug Day Parade as we move along E Street to Peterbug’s Shoe Academy to celebrate Peterbug’s birthday with food\, music\, and fellowship at the corner of Peterbug Matthews Way (13th St SE) & E St SE. The Fulcrum Foundation and the Peterbug Academy are proud to announce their partnership to help preserve the historic property located at 502 Peterbug Matthews Way St SE. \n

SUMMARY:Belva Lockwood Signage Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Please join Historic Congressional Cemetery and the Daughters of the American Revolution to dedicate a new sign for Belva Lockwood! \nBelva Lockwood is one of the most notable individuals interred at Congressional Cemetery. A lawyer\, activist\, and women’s rights pioneer\, she authored a sterling legal career\, blazing a trail for women in American society. The first woman to legally run for President\, as well as argue a case before the Supreme Court\, she stands as one of the most influential individuals of the 19th and 20th centuries. \nTo celebrate her legacy of achievement and activism for women\, we hope that you will join us on the morning of May 19th\, her death day\, for a short dedication ceremony to welcome new historic signage to her final resting place. There will be some brief remarks at the gravesite\, rain or shine! \nThank you to the Daughters of the American Revolution for the new historic signage to highlight Belva Lockwood’s achievements and life. \n
