Overview

Take a guided walking tour of a historic area older than DC itself. One of our guides (Canden Schwantes) wrote the book(s) on Georgetown. See the colonial charm of canals, cobblestoned streets, historic homes, & intriguing history.

You will see and hear stories of:

  • Chesapeake & Ohio Canal - a waterway through the industrial part of the area.

  • Old Stone House - oldest residential building in the district, now a National Park site.

  • Homes of Jackie & John F. Kennedy - hear about their time in Georgetown before and after his assassination

  • 18th and 19th Century Homes - learn about the diverse, historic architecture of the houses and the stories of those who have lived here. Look for original firemarks, coal chutes, ironworks, and gas lanterns.

  • Hear stories of the Black Georgetown community, immigrants who shaped the area, and women who bucked social norms.

  • Georgetown University - see the famous campus and learn how the area influenced it.
