Five of Old Town's most beautiful and historic private homes and gardens will open to visitors as part of the 92nd annual Historic Garden Week in Virginia. This event invites visitors to experience the timeless beauty of Old Town’s historic homes and gardens, showcased at the peak of spring bloom. In addition to the featured five homes and gardens, tour tickets provide access to Carlyle House, Lee-Fendall House, River Farm, Gunston Hall, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Green Spring Gardens, and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on the same day.
Since 1929, Historic Garden Week tour proceeds support the restoration and preservation of historic public gardens and landscapes in Virginia and fund research fellowships in landscape architecture. Historic Garden Week has raised millions for conservation projects, funding over 50 public sites across the Commonwealth.
Advance purchase tickets are $55 each and are available at www.vagardenweek.org or $60 at the Alexandria Visitor’s Center (221 King Street) on tour day.
Visitors who purchase tickets online may start the tour at any featured home by presenting their electronic ticket. Public parking is available in nearby lots, with street parking limited.
The tour is rain or shine, and public parking is available nearby. However, due to their historic nature, the homes are not handicap accessible.
