Washington’s early travels along King’s Highway in Virginia
During his House of Burgesses service Washington mostly traveled the King's Highway between Alexandria and Williamsburg. Raleigh Tavern marked the capital area, and he was a frequent guest at Burgesses sessions in the convivial setting of the era. The skull of the pirate Teach was reportedly used as a punch bowl there.
