Alexandria Christ Church

Christ Church in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, stands as a living testament to American history, with its construction beginning in 1767. Visitors can sit in the same pews where George Washington and Robert E. Lee once worshipped, surrounded by the church’s historic architecture. The site also includes a cemetery that memorializes 34 Confederate prisoners of war who died in prison camps during the Civil War. Today, guests can explore the church and its grounds, immersing themselves in the rich historical tapestry that connects the past to the present.
