Alexandria on the Potomac was a thriving tobacco port in the eighteenth century, and George Washington knew it from his surveying youth to his last years at Mount Vernon. Moore and her husband dug through deeds and records to tell the story of the town’s surviving houses and the families who built and lived in them, with drawings and photographs.

A loving local history for visitors to Old Town Alexandria and anyone curious about colonial Virginia. Download the free EPUB.
