Overview
Explore America’s most historic cemetery complex with the public historian who helps care for it.
Led by David Heiby, cemetery superintendent and creator of Gravestone Stories, this small-group walking tour takes you inside Alexandria’s remarkable 13-cemetery landscape, where George Washington’s pallbearers, Revolutionary War patriots, Civil War soldiers, a Cold War Soviet spy, and the highest-ranking Confederate general buried in Alexandria all rest within a single historic district.
Mentioned in national and local press, cited by respected history sources, and backed by a perfect 5.0 guest rating, this tour goes far beyond a typical historic walk. Every stop is grounded in original research, cemetery records, and on-site discoveries, including graves rediscovered after nearly 200 years.
Walk quiet lanes, pass through gates most visitors never enter, and hear stories you will not find anywhere else.
Group size is limited for comfort, safety, and a better experience.
