Alexandria National Cemetery Memorial Day Tour

May 27 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

$20.00

Join our Alexandria National Cemetery Tour this Memorial Day and discover the untold stories of the fallen heroes buried in the second-oldest national cemetery in the federal system. Established in 1862, even before the renowned Arlington National Cemetery, Alexandria played a critical role as a hospital hub during the Civil War.

On this one-hour walking tour, uncover the tales of lethal sharpshooters, wartime accidents, courageous colored troops, and volunteer firefighters. Witness the perseverance and duty of these American spirits etched in stone as you explore the final resting place of over 4,230 souls.

As a special treat, see the flags placed on their graves in honor of Memorial Day. Don’t miss this opportunity to pay tribute to our nation’s heroes. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.
