THE GEORGE WASHINGTON MASONIC NATIONAL MEMORIAL REVIEWS
The George Washington Masonic National Memorial is an amazing part of history. My personal tour was amazing. Graham was very knowledgeable and a history major in college which made the tour even better. The observation deck has gorgeous views of Alexandria and the Potomac river. The architecture was phenomenal, and one of a kind. I recommend the tour to anyone interested in U.S. History and our 1st President.
Amazing time today at the George Washington Masonic Memorial. Graham was a great and knowledgeable guide! Exhibits were great!
One of the most interesting and peaceful places in the DC area! Great place to learn about our country’s most famous Mason.

The impact of these choices and the extended power politically, economically, and socially is still being felt today.

GADSBY'S TAVERN MUSEUM REVIEWS
I've taken the guided tour twice and glad I did. Each time I learned such interesting information. This place was important in the early years of our country's formation and George Washington came here often. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The gift shop has many lovely things for children and history lovers at reasonable prices.
Fun place to check out in old town Alexandria to learn about some of the history of the area. My toddler loved running in the ballroom. If you can attend one of the balls it's well worth it and a fun experience.
The Gadsby’s Tavern Museum is a really cool museum that is steeped in history. Founding fathers slept, ate and celebrated many occasions here. High recommend for a intimate experience back into history.

CARLYLE HOUSE HISTORIC PARK REVIEWS
We really enjoyed our tour & visit of The Carlyle Historic House in Alexandria VA recently. It was a nice surprise to find it close by to us. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon activity. We love visiting historic sites & learning more about our history!! Such a wonderful surprise!!! Thankful it was restored & preserved for us to learn and enjoy!!
This guided tour was worth every cent we paid (which was only nominal anyway). Beautiful home and our guide gave us TONS of history behind the construction, the family, and many connections to Alexandria and the area. I was so engrossed in the tour that I forgot to take photos, except this one of the outside courtyard.
A fantastic historical gem. The birthplace of the concept of taxation without representation that ultimately lead to the New World's separation from English rule. Beautiful Garden outback...take the indoor historical tour but don't miss the garden.
