Georgetown Columbus Day Halloween Tour, Monday, Oct. 13, 3 pm!
Historic Georgetown is today famous for its Halloween parties and parades.

A perfect place for a Halloween horror tour of scandal, murder, misbehavior and intrigue--bracketed by some of the nation's finest architecture! And restaurants afterwards.
When: Monday, Oct. 12, 3 pm. About 2.25 hours.
Where: Meet in the heart of Georgetown at 1225 Wisconsin Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20007
Fee: $20.
