Cherry Blossoms may have peaked. But we are ready for peak Dogwoods. The Dogwood is both the state flower and state tree of Virginia.

I recently gave a talk to the George Washington chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR). The subject of my talk was my ongoing research and upcoming book on George Washington's Alexandria network. My presentation discussed how George Washington was supported and sustained by an incredible group of friends, neighbors, business associates, and veterans from Alexandria, Virginia!

Happy Presidents’ Day from Old Town Alexandria! We are proud to be George Washington’s hometown! While today is the official holiday that recognizes George Washington’s birthday. We look forward to celebrating this Saturday on the 22nd which is when George Washington was born based on the Gregorian calendar. We already celebrated February 11 which is Washington’s birthday based on the Julian calendar. Fun fact: George Washington’s last birthday party celebration at Gadsby’s Tavern was Feb 11, 1799.
