What you can expect

The only tour in Old Town focused on Alexandria's unique Revolutionary War history. We walk through the streets where some of the most prominent heroes of the Revolutionary War lived, worked, and worshipped. On this tour, we will also discuss Alexandria's connection to the Declaration of Independence and the US Bill of Rights.

Twenty years before the first shots of the war, events in Alexandria were beginning to push the colonies in that direction. Over the next twenty years, many of Alexandria's most prominent citizens would take hard stands against British taxation policies.

We will include many George Washington stops and discuss Washington's connections to Alexandria. We will also walk to some of the most iconic businesses and homes where members of Washington's “military family” worked and lived in Alexandria.

This tour will also take visitors to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution and discuss the history of it. We will also see where the Marquis de Lafayette addressed the citizens of Alexandria in 1824.

Finally, we will visit multiple historic churches that pre-date the Revolutionary War. We will stop at Washington's church where he famously discussed taking up arms on behalf of American independence!
