OVERVIEW

A restored 18th-century tavern and hotel in Old Town Alexandria that hosted George Washington and other founding-era figures; it is closely associated with the unsolved 1816 story of an unidentified young woman who died in an upstairs room.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

The woman, buried under a gravestone reading only "to the memory of a female stranger," is reported as a pale figure in period dress near Room 8, along with phantom candlelight and footsteps.

VISITING

Open to the public as a museum with regular tours.
