Step back in time to when George Washington was founding the United States when you take this tour of his former home, Mount Vernon, and Old Town Alexandria. See the 18th- and 19th-century buildings of Alexandria, including the Masonic Memorial dedicated to the first president. Then, tour the former estate of George Washington where you can learn about the story of his life and watch historic reenactments.
Guided Tour. Arguably the birthplace of the city itself, George Washington’s former estate is located just 13 miles from the capital’s center. The second half of this tour involves an in-depth foray through the mansion, with entrance tickets to the grounds and gardens included. Interactive, historic reenactments bring the founding father’s story to life, while a guided tour of the building helps shine a light on his fascinating story.
