How many stories can you find in one of Capitol Hill’s square blocks? If it’s the square with Logan School at 3rd and F streets NE, the answer is many. In this tour, you’ll meet Rosina Tucker, an important civil rights activist you’ve probably never heard of. Spy the path of Reedy Creek, once a major impediment to building this neighborhood. Imagine the impact of building the magnificent Union Station just two blocks west of this site. And you’ll understand the perseverance it took to establish Logan School, which has expanded from 1892 to the present day. An easy stroll, approximately a half-mile, lasting about an hour plus time for Q&A.
SOLD OUT Tour Times:
Saturday, May 8 at 2pm
Sunday, May 9 at 10am

These include murals, yard ornaments and water features – the special touches beloved by Capitol Hill neighbors. A meet-up location will be emailed to guests prior to the event. Children will be provided with worksheets and pencils so they can “keep score”. Plan on walking about 2 miles in a little over an hour.
