Corner of Fordson Rd & Sherwood Hall Lane, Alexandria,  VA 22306

Celebration of America250, on July 11, 2026, as the community comes together for two meaningful symbolic groundbreakings honoring the history, resilience, and legacy of Gum Springs. Beginning at 8:45 a.m. at Cornerstone Church of Christ, located at the corner of Fordson Road and Sherwood Hall Lane and then a short walk to the Gum Springs Legacy Walkway site, located between Dumas and Douglas Streets. This site is more than ground awaiting development—it is a canvas for vision, a place where purpose can take root and grow into a destination that carries meaning forward for generations.&nbsp;
