Join us for an afternoon with Tim Rose as he explores the impact that Alexandria had on Washington's personal life and professional career.

No other city in America had the impact that Alexandria had on George Washington’s personal life and professional career. From his first job as surveyor until the last day of his life, Washington was supported by his neighbors, friends, and family from Alexandria. Alexandrians helped make him the father of our nation. In return, Washington helped shape the city and, by extension, the new American nation.

Tim Rose is the founder and owner of Alexandria History Tours and the author of George Washington and Alexandria: A Founding Friendship. A former U.S. Marine Corps infantry officer, Tim founded Alexandria History Tours to share the history of the city through engaging tours grounded in original research and primary sources. His work focuses especially on George Washington, the American Revolution, military history, and the people who shaped Alexandria.
