Gadsby's Tavern
Acquired by John Gadsby in the late 18th century, this tavern was frequented by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, James Monroe, and Marquis de Lafayette.
Carlyle House
Completed in 1753, this Georgian manor was home to John Carlyle, a wealthy British merchant, friend of George Washington, and a founder of the city of Alexandria, Virginia.
Bank of Alexandria
In 1792, the Bank of Alexandria was authorized by the General Assembly of Virginia, the legislative body of the commonwealth of Virginia, making it the first financial institution authorized by the state.
George Washington, a frequent visitor to Old Town, was a depositor and stockholder of the bank.
Wise's Tavern
On February 4, 1789, George Washington was unanimously selected president of the United States, receiving all 69 electoral votes. Congress counted the votes and confirmed his victory on April 6th, 1789. And on the morning of April 16, 1789, Washington began the journey from his Mount Vernon home to New York City, then America's capital city. By around noon on April 16, 1789, Washington arrived in Old Town where he sat down for a (very) early dinner with the town's citizens at Wise's Tavern before continuing on his journey to New York where he would be sworn in at Federal Hall.
Washington's Townhouse
Washington used this home when he was in Old Town for business or social reasons and could not make it back to Mount Vernon.
Franklin and Armfield Slave Office
This building once housed the offices of Franklin & Armfield Co., America's largest slave trading firm from 1828 to 1836. Isaac Franklin and John Armfield used this building as a holding pen for enslaved Africans being shipped from Northern Virginia to a life of brutal subjagation in New Orleans, Louisiana or Natchez, Mississippi.
