Christ Church

ALEXANDRIA. Two American heroes, George Washington and Robert E. Lee, regularly attended this lovely red-brick Episcopal church, which still pays homage to its former members. Pew number 15 was Washington's, and it still sits in the sanctuary in its revered spot. It is said that Lee came here to meet with the Southern rebels who implored him to lead their Confederate troops. The courtyard next to the church holds the graves of several fallen Confederate soldiers. METRO: King Street
