Built in 1753 by Scottish merchant John Carlyle for his bride, Sarah Fairfax of Belvoir, Carlyle House is considered one of the grandest in Alexandria. It found a place in history in 1755 when General Braddock set up his headquarters in the mansion to plan strategy during the French and Indian War. Guided daily tours, school programs, exhibits, lectures and special events educate visitors on the history of the Carlyle mansion and the prominent family's life. This lovely home can be rented in the evenings for private parties and weddings. Admission: $4
