Hidden in the streetscapes of downtown Washington DC are clues to historic political, commercial and social events that collectively form the American experience. Join our professional tour guides, costumed in period garb, as they take you back into the past along the very streets where U.S. history was made.
- See where Harriet Beecher Stowe found a publisher for Uncle Tom's Cabin, the publication that contributed to the beginning of the war between the North and the South.
- Hear the stories of early Civil Rights heroes who once lived and worked in this bustling neighborhood.
- Find the house where conspirators in the Lincoln assassination were captured and walk the same route that John Wilkes Booth used as he made his mad dash out of town after the fatal shots were fired.
- And much more…
