History of Black Georgetown Walking Tour
November 15 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm EST
$20 – $30
Before it was a part of Washington, DC, Georgetown was an independent, bustling port city.
At one point African Americans counted for as much as 30% of the Georgetown population. Descendants of enslaved peoples and free black folk have lived in Georgetown for generations, but their contributions to its history do not often receive recognition. This tour will reveal the stories of the black citizens who made their mark on one of DC’s oldest neighborhoods.
The tour starts at 3206 O Street NW DC and ends at the Mt. Zion/Female Union Band Cemetery at 2501 Mill Rd. NW. There is a half-way stop for a bathroom break and refreshment.
