Christmas Day Tour of Georgetown, Monday, Dec. 25, 1 pm!

Continue celebrating the holiday while burning off Yuletide calories with a brisk walk up the historic hills of one of America's most historic towns. We'll stay toasty by walking during the warmest part of the day.

A thriving, antebellum tobacco port, Georgetown was key to the founding of the nation’s capital, a place of bitter contention during the Civil War, long a site of political scandal and mysterious deaths, as well as a cockpit of Cold War, WW2, and current espionage, even home to several of America’s most influential inventors.

MEET on the Waterfront on the riverside of the Swedish embassy, Not on K St.

A perfect place for a Christmas Day walking tour. We'll take a look at scandal, misbehavior and intrigue and, in the spirit of the holidays, some uplifting feats of heroes and heroines too, bracketed by some of the nation's finest architecture!

MEET: Outside the Swedish Embassy, ON THE RIVER SIDE, near the big ugly metal statue.
