Halloween Fun in Old Town Alexandria

Halloween is right around the corner. If you need some ideas to get you in the right...spirit, look no further than Old Town Alexandria. You can find everything from ghost tours that take you to old haunted buildings and abandoned cemeteries to an artistic performance of Edgar Allen Poe's own visit to Alexandria shortly before his death, along with readings of some of his most famous poems. Old Town is also a great place for kids to trick or treat since the abundance of townhouses allows them to stop at more houses in a shorter amount of time. Whatever your preference for the Halloween holiday, Old Town has enough activities to suit any preference. Visit some of the links below for more ideas!
