And there’s no better place to start on this theme than in the James Wilson Institute’s backyard, historic Old Town Alexandria, Virginia the home of the Institute since 2021, and with the father of our country George Washington for whom Alexandria was his adopted hometown.Our guest has written a new book weaving the story of Washington’s life with the growth of Alexandria from the mid 18th century onward.
