In Alexandria

If you will be visiting the Alexandria area for the day or the weekend, may we suggest the following attractions:

Jones Point Lighthouse


Just south of the Wildrow Wilson Bridge (495) in Alexandria, the park should be reopened in time to see this historic river lighthouse.  Don't miss the marker for the original corner of DC.  (Free)



Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve
The trail along the Potomac is accessible from the Belle Haven Marina - just south of Old Town Alexandria. (Free)


Historic Mount Vernon
Less than 2 miles from our reception location, Mount Vernon is the estate of our first president, Geore Washington.  There is a fee for admission - $15/adults or $25 for an annual pass.


Fort Washington Lighthouse
Fort Washington is actually across the river from Alexandria, in Fort Washington, Maryland.  It's worth the trip if you have the time.  Views are also available from the George Washington Parkway near Fort Hunt Road.
