描述
See a historic canal, pre-colonial & Victorian architecture, & cobblestone streets. Hear true stories of wild women, innovative immigrants, & founding fathers in a neighborhood older than the capital.
Georgetown’s shady lanes and cobblestone streets reflect another side of the Capital.
It is Washington’s genteel, southern side where Presidents lived when they were just Congressmen, where the Founding Fathers laid out the plans for the city on a tavern bar top, and where historic churches offer services.
