Seller Description:
The best way to tour any historic city is by foot. Since 1999, Washington Walks guides have been escorting visitors and locals alike through quaint neighborhoods, along hip urban thoroughfares, and past D.C.’s instantly recognizable landmarks and memorials.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or long-time resident, the same holds true: if you haven’t been on a Washington Walk, you haven’t been to Washington, D.C.!

Activity Description
Different Views, Different Voices: Historic Anacostia
Cedar Hill, the grand, hilltop home of famed abolitionist, orator, and editor Frederick Douglass is the centerpiece of this tour of a Washington visitors seldom see.
This tour will take you through Douglass's historic neighborhood, created in 1854 as the first suburb of the nation's capital, and tell you the stories of the people who have called this area home, from English planters, to Native Americans, to African Americans.
This tour includes:
- some of the best river views of the nation's capital
- Civil War history
- history of Washington's African American community
Today its historic homes and dramatic landscapes are on the edge of a renaissance. In addition to a tour of the Douglass Home, the experience includes the site of a major Civil War fort, the 19th-century architecture of historic Uniontown, and a visit to The Anacostia Museum and Center for African American History and Culture.
Proceeds from this tour will benefit the Anacostia Watershed Society.
