General Information

Since 1997, The Twig has hosted the Historic Alexandria Homes Tour offering a self-guided walking tour of beautiful homes and gardens in Old Town Alexandria.  The tour, which began in 1941, was originally hosted by the hospital’s Senior Auxiliary to raise money for the Hospital.  Home highlights include original and preserved structures, curated artwork, and historical collections.  The tour also offers guests an opportunity to enjoy Virginia’s lovely autumn weather and the sites of Old Town as they walk from home to home.

The 82nd Annual Historic Alexandria Homes Tour was held on September 21, 2024,  and showcased some of Alexandra’s finest homes, and this year  included a bonus tour of Gadsby’s Tavern Museum. Presented by The Twig, the Junior Auxiliary of INOVA Alexandria Hospital, the Historic Alexandria Homes Tour is a ticketed tour with the proceeds benefiting INOVA Alexandria Hospital.
