A Guide to Historic Alexandria explores Alexandria, Virginia's remarkable story--one intertwined with the story of America.
From lands once traveled by Indigenous peoples to the surveying of its streets by a young George Washington, Alexandria has long been shaped by the Potomac River's pull. As the nation grew, its proximity to the Federal City placed it at the center of political, economic, and social change from the American Revolution through the civil rights movement and beyond. Today, Alexandria's neighborhoods reveal this history. From Gadsby's Tavern Museum in Old Town to Ben Brenman Pond in the West End, each neighborhood has important landmarks, big and small. Incorporating the newest research with historic and modern photographs, this updated edition reveals Alexandria's evolution across centuries and celebrates a city whose past continues to shape the character of the Commonwealth and the nation.
