Summary:
Step back in its history and let BrightPath Tours lead you upon this audio jogging tour of Old Town Alexandria, VA. Set up in the middle-1700s, Old Town Alexandria is an early American city steeped in the annals of America’s 1st settlers, military market leaders, politicians, and churchmen. See the locations where these early Us citizens lived, worked well, and socialized and hear many of their stories — the stories that you’d expect from a location that produced our first Chief executive! Within this historic framework, visitors may also find modern conveniences that will make for a most pleasant experience! On this walk through Old Town we’ll discuss some of the first businesses and taverns that backed the 1700s town. We’ll observe homes from the town’s founders, including the great Lee family members and of course, we’ll stop at places that can truly boast that George Washington slept right here! Along the way you’ll find out about a number of the circumstances that produced this city one of the busiest, most prosperous seaports of the early times of America’s history.
