Old Town Alexandria is where Robert E. Lee's boyhood home is located.
Alexandria, located in northern Virginia, is just 6 miles south of Washington, D.C. The city's Old Town area is the third-oldest neighborhood in the United States. It is home to many fine restaurants, theaters and historical buildings, such as Robert E. Lee's boyhood home, Market Square and Gadsby's Tavern. During the day, there are walking tours and river cruises, and when the sun sets, there are numerous bars and lounges to enjoy. Add this to my Recipe Box.
