About this Event
Halloween Ghosts and Scary History Tour of Georgetown, D.C.!
Historic, scenic Georgetown is today famous for its Halloween parties and parades. A thriving, antebellum tobacco port, it was a place of bitter contention during the Civil War, and long a site of political scandal and mysterious deaths, and a cockpit of Cold War, World War II & contemporary espionage.
An ideal locale for a Halloween horror tour of scandal, M**der, misbehavior and intrigue--bracketed by some of the nation's finest architecture! And perhaps a pub or restaurant afterwards.
When: Friday, Oct. 25!, 5 pm start. 2 hours.
Where: MEET at the entrance of Volta Park, 1555 34th Street, NW, on 34th St between Q St. and Volta Place road.
