11. Tour Mount Vernon
President George Washington’s famous homestead Mount Vernon can be found about 10 miles south of Alexandria’s Old Town right down the surprisingly picturesque George Washington Memorial Parkway. Here you can tour the mansion and estate of George and Martha Washington. You will see the stables, the four gardens, the slave quarters, and such specialty buildings as the blacksmith shop and smokehouse. See George and Martha’s tombs, the filming locations from “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”, and visit the on-site museum and education center as well.
