Historic Sites Tour

Jun 18, 2020

We’re hoping you enjoyed the Whimsy of Capitol Hill Scavenger Hunt!  If you’re looking for another free, fun, family-friendly, socially-distanced activity try out our new, self-guided Historic Sites Walking Tour.
We’re including 45 historically significant sites from across The Hill. Some are noteworthy due to their architecture, or for their connection to individuals and events that shaped our community and our country.  Others illuminate the manufacturing sector, once a key component of Hill life and now largely a thing of the past.

New members and donations are always appreciated! JOIN/DONATE

Many Thanks! to our House Tour sponsors:

While we’re waiting for the traditional House & Garden tour, we’re getting ready for a virtual  House Tour this fall, featuring homes from past tours.  We think you’ll really enjoy making the cursor “walk” you through the homes and zoom in on points of interest!  Look for details later this summer.
