Lonely Planet review

Alexandria's most prominent landmark features a fine view from its 333ft tower, where you can see the Capitol, Mt Vernon and the Potomac River. It is modeled after the lighthouse in Alexandria, and honors America's first president (who was initiated into the Masons in Fredericksburg in 1752 and later became Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge No 22). Artifacts of Washington's life and a striking bronze statue do the job.
