DC Labor Walk Explores IBEW Museum
Monday, March 12, 2012
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The latest DC Labor Walk offers a very special guided
tour of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) museum.
The IBEW museum – open only by appointment – presents an interactive history
of the IBEW from its founding until today, tracing the fascinating development
of the electrical industry over the last century through displays of equipment
used by members going back to the 1890’s, including a collection of lightbulbs
spanning more than a century. Raising money for the Metro Council’s Community
Services Agency’s Emergency Assistance Fund ($20/person; $35/couple), the tour
will be led by IBEW Museum Curator Curtis Bateman and will include a visit to
the IBEW rooftop patio to take in the spectacular views of the DC skyline. Click
