Celebrate 67 Years of Touring! Saturday, May 11, 4 – 7 pm – Sunday, May 12, 1 – 5 pm

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society’s annual House & Garden Tour is one of the highlights of the Capitol Hill calendar. Tickets will be available through Eventbrite in April. Watch this space for details as the event approaches.

Author Claudia Kousoulas presented a virtual Preservation Café “Designing and Creating a Private Garden,” Tuesday, November 28, 2023. Creating a garden is a work of complexity and creativity. Each region has its own landscape materials and traditions, each site has its challenges and opportunities, and each gardener has a vision for their personal expression and environment. The presentation was recorded.

On Monday, December 4, at 7:30 pm, Kim Williams, author of the recently released book Hidden Alleyways of Washington, DC: A History, will tell the story of Capitol Hill’s inhabited alleys from their development in the 19^th century through government attempts in the early 1900s to eliminate thousands of alley dwellings where the poorest of the city’s residents lived.
