Overview

Walk Among 35,000 Stories in America’s Most Historic Cemetery Cluster

Step into the most extraordinary cemetery tour in the United States—where history isn’t just remembered, it’s uncovered. At Alexandria’s Wilkes Street Cemetery Complex, expert historians bring 250+ years of American history to life, guiding you through 13 historic cemeteries unlike anywhere else.

Walk the same paths as George Washington’s pallbearers. Visit the graves of Revolutionary patriots, Civil War generals and U.S.C.T. soldiers, Cold War spies, and the mysterious Female Stranger—whose identity remains unsolved after 200 years.

This isn’t your typical walking tour. It’s a deeply researched journey into America’s buried past—featuring radar discoveries, newly documented lives, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

Named “the most historic cluster of cemeteries in the United States,” this site is a hidden gem just outside D.C.

Tours offered most weekends year-round in small, engaging groups.
