Ramsay House Visitors Center

ALEXANDRIA. This historic home serves as the Visitor's Center for Alexandria, with a huge array of maps, brochures and booklets that steer you toward the area's top attractions and tours. Being a historic home, it is also one of the area's top attractions. Built in 1724 by Alexandria's founder, William Ramsay, the carefully restored building is the oldest home in Alexandria. Look for the unique gambrel roof and the original porch, with its lovely views of the Potomac. METRO: King Street
