Walking Tour with Jane K.: Congressional Cemetery (subject to change if a funeral is scheduled)
Tuesday, September 17 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
| FreeMeet at the Potomac Avenue Metro at 10am, corner of 14th St. and Potomac Ave. SE
Walk together to Congressional Cemetery (approx. 6 minutes), one of the oldest cemeteries in Washington, D.C.. Congressional Cemetery is the final resting place of such diverse local notables as Matthew Brady, J Edgar Hoover, Belva Lockwood, John Philip Sousa, Marion Barry and Cokie Roberts. Following the cemetery tour, we will walk together to the Stadium-Armory metro and end there at about noon (5-minute walk).
Note: Congressional Cemetery also serves as a dog park to the community and we may encounter some off-leash dogs. In addition, visiting some of the gravesites will entail walking on uneven ground,so appropriate footwear and caution is required. And then there are the ghosts…
