Walking Event: Old Town

Start Point is open daily, 10am-4pm. Start Point is closed New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. (It may be closed on other days for special functions. Call ahead at 703-683-2007 to confirm it will be open.) Trail is rated 1+ and is suitable for strollers but not wheelchairs. Pets officially are not allowed on Start Point grounds, but they can be kept in vehicles when you register and they can be walked to and from your car once you are walking. Trail is along city and residential streets and through paths or sidewalks of local parks alongside the Potomac River. Old Town Alexandria is full of 18th and 19th century history featuring our first President, George Washington, and Civil War families like the Lees. The start point has free tours to the top tower and great views of Washington DC and Alexandria.
