Description

In this unique and fun tour, we will walk in the footsteps of America's first president. We learn about the man who was 'first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen.' In fact, we will show you the home of Washington's friend, who delivered these famous words. Explore one of the oldest and most historic churches in America that George Washington helped to finance. We will show you where Washington worshipped and even give guests a chance to sit in his pew! (Church is not open Monday and Tuesday) See where Washington was first publicly addressed as President Washington! Learn the story of Washington's Alexandria neighbor who helped him pay his travel expenses to get to his first inaugural. We will then see where Washington celebrated the end of the Revolutionary War and give you a chance to take a picture with a young Lt. Col. Washington! Plus we will talk about how Washington's military career started and his heroic actions during the French and Indian War. See not one but two properties Washington owned in Alexandria. He built a townhouse for his own use and another home to rent out. He was quite the real estate mogul! Learn about the history of Washington's final years. See where two of the doctors lived that helped take care of him on his last day. There is a lot to see and discuss. Ask questions and come ready to gain a deeper appreciation and admiration for the father of our nation. There is a reason George Washington has a massive monument in his honor!
