(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
Few Washington neighborhoods have witnessed the dramatic change and breathtaking renaissance of Logan Circle, the city's only unaltered Victorian residential district. It evolved from rural obscurity to an enclave of architectural splendor, home to wealthy white residents and later African-American residents. If you're a fan of Second Empire or High Victorian Gothic homes, this walk is for you.
If you're fascinated by the dynamics of urban neighborhoods, consider the residents of Logan Circle - their tenacity and vision preserved the historic district when it teetered on the brink of decline. Today it is one of the most sought-after addresses in Washington. Impressive restoration and renovation continue; cool restaurants and shops multiply.
This walk is offered in conjunction with the annual Mid-City Dogs Days of Summer Sale weekend.
Meeting Location:
Downtown, near 14th & I ("Eye") Sts., NW (Washington, DC)
