Історія Чорного Джорджтауна

Огляд
*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.
Місто: Вашингтон, округ Колумбія

This was my second tour with Off The Mall Tours, and once again, it was informative, fun, and a great way to learn more about DC. Katie knows DC and its hidden historical secrets. It was an easy walk, and even though we had rain, it did not impede our enjoyment of the sights. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Katie once you have done the "big" DC stuff. It is a great way to learn about this beautiful and vital city.
