Why take this tour?

It is Washington’s historic neighborhood where Presidents lived when they were Congressmen, where the Founding Fathers laid out the plans for the city on a tavern bar top, where women broke barriers and Black neighbors developed a tight-knit community despite prejudice. This tour covers history, architecture, and the stories of Georgetown's over 200 years of residents.
