In honor of Veterans Day join Off the Mall Tours for a unique walking tour: Echoes of the Navy Yard. The Navy Yard is DC’s oldest neighborhood, and was also one of the largest sources of employment, the entry point into the capital, the final destination of DC’s first mass transit system, and much more. The tour will give you the history behind Canal Park, the oldest African church in DC, the Capital Turnaround, and of course the Navy Yard itself (note: the tour does not enter the Navy Yard, as it is a functioning military base). And because of the holiday, we’ll have a special focus on Veterans of the Navy Yard who lived in the neighborhood. Tour begins at Washington Canal Park at 200 M St SE, Washington, DC 20003, ends at the Capital Waterfront Park.
