Historic Georgetown: History, Gossip, & Architecture Tour
Georgetown’s shady lanes and cobblestone streets reflect another side of the Capital.
It is Washington’s genteel, southern side where Presidents lived when they were just Congressmen, where the Founding Fathers laid out the plans for the city on a tavern bar top, and where historic churches offer services.
Our Historic Georgetown tour focuses on the houses and sites of a town that still invokes the image of refinement and class after 300 years.
You will see and hear stories of:
- Chesapeake & Ohio Canal - a waterway through the industrial part of the neighborhood.
- 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 neighborhood, and women who bucked social norms.
- Georgetown University - see the famous campus and learn how the neighborhood influenced it.
Highlights:
- Stroll through the cobblestone streets and admire the charming 18th and 19th-century buildings.
- Learn about Georgetown's rich history, from its colonial origins to its role in the nation's capital.
- Hear fascinating stories about notable residents and significant events that shaped this historic neighborhood.
