Historia Czarnego Georgetown

Przegląd
*Starting in February 2025, tour is offered the first and third Saturday of the month at 2pm.

Someone visiting Georgetown today may see it as another wealthy enclave in a continuously gentrifying Washington, DC. However, this charming area has a diverse history. Originally a busy port for the export of tobacco, it was also the site of an active slave trade, and at one point African Americans counted as 30% of the Georgetown population. Descendants of those enslaved peoples and black free folk have lived in Georgetown for generations, but their contributions to its history do not often receive the same 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 Cemetery, at 2501 Mill Rd. NW. There is a half-way stop at Thomas Sweet Shop for a bathroom break and refreshment.
Miasto: Waszyngton

When in DC, you must take a tour from Off the Mall Tours! I took a large group to Washington DC recently and everyone thought, including myself, that The History of Black Georgetown tour was the highlight of their trip. Katie was not only knowledgeable but a fantastic and entertaining storyteller. I would love to take other tours she offers! Thank you!

If you're looking for a great walking tour, look no futher. This tour was amazing and well planned. The presenter, Katie gave me a real feel for the era or person she spoke about. It was presented with passion and thorough knowledge. I plan to experience other tours as well. Thank you, Katie
