Overview

  • Discover the charm and history of Old Town Alexandria, one of the nation’s most beautifully preserved colonial cities just outside Washington, DC.

    Step inside the legendary Gadsby's Tavern - once the social hub of colonial Alexandria - where George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams dined, danced, and debated.

    Stroll along cobblestone streets lined with 18th-century architecture as your expert local guide brings centuries of American history vividly to life.

    Explore Christ Church (Interior Visit When Open) - originally built in 1773 - whenever services or private events are not in session.

    From George Washington’s favorite tavern to a church that’s hosted presidents, patriots, and even royalty, this walking tour takes you beyond the monuments and into the real stories that helped shape a nation.
