Great tour, lots of local history associated with the house. The house, families and surrounding buildings, are responsible for inspiring the TV show Mercy Street from PBS. Its a must see if youre in Alexandria!

I really enjoyed the tour and seeing some history of Alexandria. Robert E. Lees boyhood home is just across the street. George Washington and Woodrow Wilson were guests at the Lee-Fendall House.You get to go through time as you tour the different rooms and get a sense of how things changed throughout history.Would definitely recommend. It does cost $5 but I think its worth it.

Although they had an event planned on the same day of our visit they still welcomed us in and gave us an amazing tour. Some things werent in their original place and the tour was rushed due to the event. However, the place is great and definitely worth a visit

Its okay for events, a little outdated ( it is a historical house) bathrooms are a struggle with wedding and events here ALL THE TIME. But I guess worth compare to the price of other rental properties for events. Ive cater here countless wedding. They need to fix the bathrooms asap!!

Step into a historical house and visit with the lovely guides to find out how many important figures have lived there and in the surrounding area. Worth the stop.

Love their events for kids! Weve done Christmas twice and the Halloween pumpkin hunt. Nice way to introduce my preschooler to history while having fun.

Lovely historic architecture here in a distinctly Federal style common in the region, worth a drive by or a visit if you appreciate this sort of thing. The city of Alexandria itself has been overrun with something Federal, although of a completely different definition than Federal architecture - the DC yuppie, participating in my nations sort of postmodern corporate industrial complex for big salaries and egos. Parking is difficult to find. Overall, as a damn Yankee I enjoyed my stop here.

Lots of layered history there. Way more than the Lees. One of the last owners basically started the AFL-CIO. Very knowledgeable guide. I believe her name was Jill. She was great!

Lots of history and wonderful architecture. At one point the house WAS the edge of the town - buildings on one side and forest on the other. When I was there, so many years ago with my mom, the staff on duty was friendly and KNEW his history.

I wouldnt pay $5 to visit, but I went for free via the Keys to the City pass (available from Alexandria Tourism Office, with a WMATA card).

This land was owned by Robert E. Lees family, but another relative built the house. Lee never lived here.
