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.

Katie's tour covered spots we had been to/by many times but had no idea about the history held in them, from the 1600s to current day. She augmented what we were seeing and hearing ourselves with historical photos for reference. We're looking forward to joining more of her tours soon!

This was a fantastic tour. Katie is an amazing guide! She made the information she was presenting interesting, relevant, accessible, and engaging. This would be a great tour for both someone visiting from out of town or a long time resident of the district. I am a graduate student studying history - as well as a long time history teacher - and Katie introduced me to many figures and events I had never heard of before. The legacies and stories of Black individuals in Washington DC / Georgetown have been underappreciated for far too long. I highly recommend going on this tour to learn more about these stories!
