Carlyle House Historic Park

If you love history, you'll be in the right place at Carlyle House Historic Park!

This stunning 18th century historic home museum is located in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, and it was back in 1753 that the home was completed.

That's a long time ago!

The historic home got it's name from John Carlyle, who was not only a wealthy merchant, but also founded the Alexandria itself - pretty impressive!

So why not jump into the pages of history and visit a fascinating historic home, in one of the most history towns in the USA - and it's super pretty too!
