Georgetown Architecture Walking Tour

Founded more than 50 years before Washington became the capital, Georgetown began as a gritty port town on the banks of the Potomac. Though it was once dismissed by First Lady Abigail Adams as a “dirty little hole,” today Georgetown is one of DC’s most charming and sought-after neighborhoods. Cobblestone streets lined with colorful rowhouses, elegant churches, and grand mansions tell the story of centuries of change.
