Чого очікувати

Джорджтаун

Порт Джорджтаун сягає минулих століть і сьогодні відомий своїми брукованими вулицями, історичними будинками та садами, а також вважається торговельним районом і ресторанами. Дослідження місцевості пішки — найкращий спосіб повернутися в минуле та насолодитися атмосферою парку з усією його старовинною цеглою та зеленню.

Канал C & O

Історичний канал через промислову частину Джорджтауна, гості дізнаються про човни каналу та побачать діючий «шлюз» (ворота), який допомагає човнам подорожувати до та з каналу.

Старий кам'яний будинок

Безсумнівно, це одне з найстаріших будівель у всьому місті. Це дивовижне місце управляється Службою національних парків і має чудовий сад, де можна посидіти та відпочити. Побудований у 1766 році, він був автосалоном до 1953 року, коли його заволоділи. на збереження історії. Тепер ми маємо насолоджуватися та згадувати простіші часи, коли в сусідньому порту торгували тютюном і небилицями.

Джорджтаунський університет

Цей престижний єзуїтський університет, заснований у 1789 році, широко відомий своїми медичними, юридичними та студентськими програмами. Погляньте на високі шпилі будівлі Патріка Хілі та статую засновника Джона Керрола. У теплий день студенти відпочиватимуть на траві, кидаючи фрісбі, читатимуть і спілкуватимуться.

Georgetown

The port Georgetown goes back centuries and is today know for its cobblestone streets, historic homes and gardens, and is seen as a shopping and dining district. Exploring the area on foot is the best way to go back in time and enjoy the park like atmosphere with all of its old brick and greenery.

C & O Canal

The historic canal through the industrial section of Georgetown, guests will learn about the canal boats and see a working "lock" (gate) the helped the boats travel to and from along the canal.

Old Stone House

Certainly one of the oldest buildings in the entire city, this quaint spot is run by the National Parks Service and has a lovely garden to sit and take a rest in. Built in 1766, it was a car dealership by 1953 when it was taken over for historic preservation. Now it is ours to enjoy and remember a simpler time when tobacco and tall tales traded at the nearby port.

Georgetown University

Founded in 1789, this prestigious Jesuit University is know far and wide for its medical, legal, and undergraduate programs. See the towering spires of the Patrick Healy building and the statue of founder John Carrol. On a warm day students will lounge in the grass out front throwing frisbees, reading, and socializing.

"The Exorcist" Steps

We end the tour near the Exorcist Steps, a historic stairway that became famous thanks to the 1970s film of the same name.
