About this Event

In honor of National Preservation Month, join Carlyle House and Lee-Fendall House on a new tour of “Lost Alexandria.”

The City of Alexandria has seen older buildings and spaces being restored, preserved, and reused in different ways. However, there were many buildings that were not preserved and have been lost to time. Explore parts of the historic neighborhood of Fishtown and what is now Founder’s Park and stop at locations where historic buildings once stood.

Tours will be every Saturday in May though please note that there is no tour on May 10th.

The program is a joint effort between the Lee-Fendall House and Carlyle Historic Park. Tours begin at Lee-Fendall House Museum at 10:00 AM. The tour includes walking over many city blocks, so please dress appropriately for the terrain and weather. Tours are limited to 10 people. Tickets are $20 general admission For more information, please call (703)549-2297 or email carlyle@nvrpa.org

Tickets are non-refundable unless the museum cancels the tour due to inclement weather.
