Tour of Georgetown's Secret Streets, Thursday, April 9!

Once a thriving tobacco port, Georgetown was key to the founding of the nation’s capital, a place of bitter contention during the Civil War, long a site of political scandal and mysterious deaths, as well as a cockpit of Cold War, World War Two, and current espionage, even home to several of America’s most influential scientists and engineers.

In short, a perfect place for a history walking tour of scandal, stunning achievements, misbehavior and intrigue, bracketed by some of the nation's finest architecture and bistros! We'll focus on northern and central Georgetown this time.
