Masonic Temple of Alexandria

Even though we have lived for years within a couple of miles of the famous Masonic Temple of Alexandria we have never done a tour until recently. February also happens to be the month that the Masons are celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the dedication of the memorial so a special time to visit! The tower is fashioned after the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt. The 333-foot (101 m) tall memorial sits atop Shooter's Hill and is the tallest building in the city so it provides quite a view of Alexandria and the surrounding areas on the Potomac River.  I took along my 6 year old son and he really enjoyed it!  If you live in the area or are just visiting, it's worth scheduling a tour on their website. https://gwmemorial.org/pages/tours
