Walk in the footsteps of George Washington on a guided walking tour with local historian, Kevin Vincent. In 1775, George Washington bought 1200-acres of forest in what is now Arlington. After the Revolutionary War, he returned home and surveyed his property. On the walk you’ll start with a mini tour of the Ball-Sellers House (the oldest building in Arlington built c. 1750), visit the survey markers used by Washington in 1785, see historic springs, see the site of a mill built by George Washington’s step-grandson, and more.
The walk begins at the Ball-Sellers House. It is about a three hour walk encompassing about three miles with a couple hills. READ MORE on the AHS website: https://arlhist.org/event/george-washingtons-forest-guided-walking-tour-2/
