Welcome to Alexandria! Whether you are visiting for the first time or back again, it’s good to have you here. There is A LOT to see in Alexandria. The city is 275 years old and has withstood multiple wars, fires, and phases of development. Since it is only 8.5 miles from Mount Vernon, Alexandria is George Washington’s hometown. Every block tells a story. Historic homes and churches have been standing for over 250 years!
