Carlyle House and Alexandria Landmarks From a Colonial Era
Alexandria Virginia highlights Carlyle House and Christchurch as premier sights where George Washington and Braddock frequented, with Washington’s pew in Christchurch and the Braddock era rooms preserved. The Carlyle House, founded 1745, features the blue room, a Braddock council, and the Miss Sally Fairfax tale, while the town’s streets recall colonial and revolutionary history along the Potomac.
