Historical Commission Symposia

The Historical Commission of Falls Church "provides information and advice on historical matters for the city government, develops criteria for the identification of historic buildings and sites, and makes recommendations on recognizing and preserving such structures and sites." Historical Commission members and other invited speakers presented seven symposiums, one or two a year, from 1994 to 1998. Text from of the main presentations is provided in this digital archive.
