(Washington Walks)
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
Violent quarrels, vicious attacks, murder, suicide -- why is it such turbulent events in Washington history seem concentrated around the seven acres of Lafayette Park?
During the day, it bustles with White House staff, visitors and office workers. As evening descends, however, it’s not hard to imagine that the park is the most haunted site in the city.
How the ghosts and spirits came into being is the subject of this eerie perambulation. You’ll see:
- the home of navy hero Stephen Decatur
- hear about man of letters Henry Adams and his troubled wife Clover
- relive the night on April 14, 1865 when the grim reaper stalked more than Abraham Lincoln
You'll end this walk at the house considered the most haunted home in the city: The Octagon
