Our first stop is Market Square in Old Town Alexandria, established in 1749 as a port town by the colonial government. The district features a wealth of well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century buildings, including Federal style homes and a WWI-era munitions plant. We'll learn how these styles have been preserved and protected through historic preservation while getting some great photos along the way.

The Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum is a historic site that offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine and pharmacy. The apothecary was initially established by Edward Stabler, a pharmacist who operated the business with his family. It served as a vital medical resource for the local community, providing medicines, remedies, and medical advice. In the mid-19th century, the business was taken over by the Leadbeater family, who continued to operate the apothecary until it closed in 1933. The interior of the apothecary museum retains much of its original design and furnishings, including wooden cabinets, glass jars, and other apothecary equipment from the 19th century.

The Basilica of Saint Mary
The Basilica of St. Mary, originally known as St. Mary's Catholic Church, was established in 1795. It was the first Roman Catholic parish in the area and played a significant role in the early Catholic community of Alexandria. Initially, services were held in a small wooden church, which was replaced by a more substantial building as the congregation grew. The current church building was constructed between 1810 and 1814. Designed by the architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the church is a notable example of Federal-style architecture with a neoclassical design.

We end the tour at Roberdeau Park on the waterfront, named after Danial Roberdeau, one of our founding fathers. He represented Pennsylvania in the Continental Congress when he signed the Articles of the Confederation which was essentially the first draft of our Constitution. He served as a Brigadier General in the PA state militia during the war and was very active in freemasonry. This last stop will take you right to the waterfront.
