Explore the heart of Washington, DC on a private walking tour covering approximately 3.5 miles of the Nation’s most iconic landmarks and memorials. During this guided walking tour, discover the history, architecture, and untold stories behind the Lincoln Memorial, the powerful memorials honoring World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, the Washington Monument, the White House, Pennsylvania Avenue, Library of Congress, Supreme Court and ending at the United States Capitol. Sponsorship for this event is available!

Explore Washington’s Southwest Waterfront, a neighborhood shaped by ambition, decline, displacement, and renewal. Originally laid out in the 1770s by the Carroll family as Carrollsburg, the area evolved into a thriving 19th century port and Civil War military hub, home to the nation’s oldest continuously operating fish market and some of DC’s earliest row houses. In the mid 20th century, sweeping Urban Renewal efforts demolished entire blocks and displaced more than 23,000 residents, primarily Black and Jewish communities. Today, developments such as The Wharf signal yet another transformation, making this tour a compelling look at architecture, planning, and the enduring impact of change along the Potomac River.

Explore Washington, DC’s built environment from the unique vantage point of the Potomac River during this two-hour afternoon Architectural River Cruise. With live expert commentary, participants will examine the architectural and historical significance of the Georgetown Waterfront, the Francis Scott Key Bridge, the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the The Pentagon, and The Wharf, along with lesser known sites such as the C&O Canal and Titanic Memorial.
