On Tuesday March 7th, Beth Purcell and Joanna Kendig each led a group of historic preservation experts through Capitol Hill, sharing our research and our delight in living here.

Capitol Hill is home to many works of art painted on the exteriors of homes and businesses. We are continuing to add murals, as we find them – the most recent in February 2023, including new Statehood murals in an alley just off the 1300 block of H Street NE. 

We offered guided outdoor walking tours on November 12 & 13, 2022.  We plan to offer additional tours in the spring. Keep an eye on the website calendar for the announcement.

Ticket sales have ended for our guided walking tours on October 1 & 2, 2022 but tickets are now on sale for our November 12 & 13 tours. Details: chrs.org/guided-walking-tours-november-2022.   View photos.

We offered guided walking tours on March 26 & 27, 2022.  This tour is over, but we’ll be offering more in October.

Thanks to the community for keeping CHRS part of Capitol Hill for 66 years! If you haven’t yet, please become a member.

We offered four different guided walking tours on November 13 and 14, 2021. Look for more tours in March, 2022. Photos from November tours

To celebrate Capitol Hill’s rich and diverse history, we’ve arranged a self-guided walking tour of 46 sites, a small sampling of the hundreds of other cultural treasures available to enjoy.

We were pleased to offer two fan-favorites from the Mother’s Day Tour of Tours – plus two new tours, requested by attendees – on September 11 and 12, 2021.  Ticket sales through EventBrite ended September  8 at 3 pm. Additional tours are scheduled for November. Photos of September Tours
