Despre activitate
Take a guided walking tour of a historic neighborhood older than DC itself. One of our guides (Canden Schwantes) wrote the book(s) on Georgetown. See the colonial charm of canals, cobblestoned streets, historic homes, & intriguing history.
You will see and hear stories of:
- Chesapeake & Ohio Canal - a waterway through the industrial part of the neighborhood.
- Old Stone House - oldest residential building in the district, now a National Park site.
- Homes of Jackie & John F. Kennedy - hear about their time in Georgetown before and after his assassination
- 18th and 19th Century Homes - learn about the diverse, historic architecture of the houses and the stories of those who have lived here. Look for original firemarks, coal chutes, ironworks, and gas lanterns.
- Hear stories of the Black Georgetown community, immigrants who shaped the neighborhood, and women who bucked social norms.
- Georgetown University - see the famous campus and learn how the neighborhood influenced it.

Certainly one of the oldest buildings in the entire city, this quaint spot is run by the National Parks Service and has a lovely garden to sit and take a rest in. Built in 1766, it was a car dealership by 1953 when it was taken over for historic preservation. Now it is ours to enjoy and remember a simpler time when tobacco and tall tales traded at the nearby port.

A Georgetown institution, this restaurant has been locally owned since 1933. The dark wood panels, black and white photos on the wall, and the regulars at the bar give this place a certain sense of nostalgia and ambiance. The classic American fare keeps people coming back year after year with both indoor and outdoor seating
