History of Old Town Tour
(By appointment only for groups of 15 guests or more.)
You’ll walk in the footsteps of George Washington and Robert E. Lee along our brick-lined streets, by elegant Federal homes and cobblestone alleyways.

From Colonial times through the Civil War, Alexandria has been the scene of many “firsts” in American history-
  • In 1774, Virginia delegates George Washington and George Mason adopted the “Fairfax Resolves” calling for an end to trade with England
  • In 1755, Gen. Edward Braddock and five Royal Colonial Governors met here and decided to levy England’s first tax on the Colonies.
  • Throughout the 1600 and 1700s, this seaport city had a thriving tobacco trade with England.
  • In 1861, here occurred the very first casualties of the Civil War.
Each tour is a 90-minute walking tour, led by an experienced,
entertaining guide, covering 8-10 blocks.
Reservations gladly accepted.
