So much history here! We ran across this place when we canceled our Mt Vernon visit due to the weather. I feel like we learned so much, yet everything still shrouded in mystery. Beautiful architecture and art, great information from our tour guide and a peak into a notoriously private "fraternity". Highly recommend this place! Right now, due to COVID and staffing issues, your only way to see this museum is by tour. Check their website for pricing and more tour info.

A nice place to visit, a lot to see inside and out.they keep this place up nice it very easy to get to and well worth going to. We did have a good time looking throw the grounds and in side. It more of a self guided tour.good for the hole family. We do recommend.

Loved visiting here. Fascinating place with an amazing history and the views from the observation tower are spectacular. Even if the Freemasons are not of interest to you there is much more to this place. But as a Memorial to George Washington. It is filled with artifacts of the nations 1st president. Imo not to be missed if you are in Alexandria.

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial is 100% worth a visit (keep in mind that it's a $20 entrance fee, but it's worth the price). We were there on a Sunday afternoon, and it was not too busy. There are a lot of pictures of other temples throughout the country. You get to see multiple rooms that are really great to see. We went on the tour with a guide - which was very good. One artifact that I particularly though was cool was the trowel that's been used on so many famous buildings around our country; another was the trunk that Washington brought with him throughout the Revolutionary War. Another highlight of the trip was getting to go to the 9th floor and out on the observation deck which provided 360 degree views of the surrounding area (Alexandria, into Maryland, and of course DC). It's well worth the time - and the views are stunning.

I just had the opportunity to explore the grounds and exterior of the monument, but its sheer presence and elegance is overwhelming. The beautiful lights at night, manicured grounds, and design features make this a wonderful local landmark. It also never looked very busy, so I imagine lines weren't long. Definitely visit when in the area and I'm planning to come back when they are open for tours.

This was my first time visiting this incredible landmark. It was lit up in honor of a special panel that I was lucky enough to attend. What little I saw of the building is absolutely breathtaking! The skill, artistry, and pure craftsmanship is like nothing I have ever seen.

Amazing construction by our fore fathers. The history in this building is wonderful. Even the elevator had to be constructed on an angle...truly a work of art.. The rooms inside are detailed with great peices of stone.. Beautiful...The over look from the 9th floor balcony is breath takintaking.. I wish they would do some up keep on the outside base looks to be deteriorating in some spots.. The tour guide needs a little sharpening up on details but all in all a nice tour. I wish I could see a preformence in the theater section the sound in that building would be awesome.

Great place to visit. Very nice tour. Plenty to see.

Beautiful place. Had a tour, it was awesome . The Martha Washington OES Chapter fed our group. What a delicious meal.

The grounds are quite beautiful with an amazing view, and the building itself is striking. I wasn't interested in paying $18 to tour the inside, but they are nice enough to allow you to stand just inside the doors and take pictures of the lobby area. Masks are provided and must be worn.

Every Mason should visit this place, and non Masons will likely enjoy it too. The architecture and statues are beautiful to behold. Right now the upper floor and observation deck are closed to the public, but when they come back I'm sure it will be even more impressive.

One of the most interesting and peaceful places in the DC area! Great place to learn about our country’s most famous Mason.

A really cool experience touring this building that looms over the area. They have a large collection of artifacts and exhibits covering the history of freemasonry and George Washington as well in an impressive art deco building with a nice observation deck up top. The tours do cost $20 for an adult and should be reserved ahead of time, but even with the free attractions in the area, this is worth a visit. It would be nice if the hillside around could be converted to something more like a public park, as they are clearly struggling to maintain the landscaping. Being adjacent to the metro, it would make the whole area nicer.

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial is an amazing part of history. My personal tour was amazing. Graham was very knowledgeable and a history major in college which made the tour even better. The observation deck has gorgeous views of Alexandria and the Potomac river. The architecture was phenomenal, and one of a kind. I recommend the tour to anyone interested in U.S. History and our 1st President.

The tour was great. So much u don't know about masons. Cool exhibits on Washington's involvement & artifacts like the sash from his casket with masonic symbols & chair from his home office, used in ceremonies. The view from the 9th floor observation deck is not to be missed. But watch for hornets on warm fall days.

I was only outside,since it was a Holiday,January.1st.2023. It is nice to walk around, there is a little Park and the area is nice. Many Shops on King Street. It is right by the trainstation in Alexandria.

Wow, is this a must see. Great tour and exhibits. Wonderful views of Alexandria, Potomac , and Maryland. Guides are helpful and knowledgeable. Only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Amazing time today at the George Washington Masonic Memorial. Graham was a great and knowledgeable guide! Exhibits were great!

This place is only open Friday- Sunday. You have to purchase tickets which I believe are $20 a piece. The grounds themselves have seen better days but the building looks amazing from the outside.

We actually held an event here. It's a new venture for them, and it shows that they are trying to be very accommodating. The staff there were very nice and helpful. The venue is actually pretty cool too. Acoustics in the theater are good. Good lighting options too. I didn't get a chance to tourist around, so I can't comment there. For a venue, certainly check it out.

Compared to other museums and monuments in Washington D. C. this one is a somewhat average place. It was a bit difficult and tricky to approach it on foot and then there were goose muck all over the pavements. Admission fee is 18 USD that I find a little bit high. I was lucky to participate in the last guided tour of the day that was very informative especially about freemasons. Exhibitions were quite basic though with some painting, books and so. The lookout part was great, you can have a stunning view to Alexandria. Overall it's a pleasant place but I wouldn't go the extra mile again on foot to visit it.

Definitely worth the stop at this place. Admission is $20 which includes the tour guide (check the tour hour schedule). First and second floor is self-guided tour. And with the tour, you’ll be able to go up to the 4th, 5th, and very top. Lots of artifacts about President George Washington. Don’t want to spoil you, but I was amazed when I got to the 5th floor. The view from top of the tower is amazing.

An interesting building and the tour guide did an excellent job of providing historical facts about the structure and organization. It costs $5 to reach the top and worth it as the views are unmatched in this area of Virginia.

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial celebrated its 100th anniversary of its cornerstone ceremony. Many of its member Masonic groups from around the nation participated in the Annual George Washington Birthday Parade, rerouted this year to end at the Masonic Memorial.

Beautiful building, with lots of history. Well with visiting, particularly if you have any tires to Masonry.

Very cool experience!!!!!!!!!! Would always see this place but never knew what it was. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered my question that I had about George Washington. On one floor (of the Masonic) it reminded me of that old school game show "Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego", where towards the end of the show the contestant had to run to different podiums and answer different trivia question's about history that was spoken about during the segment of the show. Only in this place and on that one particular floor at each podium, you read about the different artifacts about the history of being a Mason. In fact the tour guide looked like one of the squadron leader's from that show "lol". Also at the end of the tour you got to look out from the observatory deck, which was very spectacular!!!!!!!!!!
