Join us for a guided tour of Congressional Cemetery!
Over 67,000 people are interred at Congressional Cemetery, ranging from 1807 all the way until the present day. Their stories are American history in microcosm, all in 35 acres of the nation's capital. Come and experience their extraordinary lives in a one of kind portal into the past.
In this 1 hour to 1 hour and 30-minute tour, one of our trained docents will share the stories of some of Congressional's interred residents while walking the beautiful and scenic cemetery grounds.
Please come prepared with comfortable and weather appropriate clothing and shoes, as the tours often stray from the main paths.
The Cemetery is open to dogs on Sundays. Please be aware of that off-leash dogs will be on the grounds at the time of the tour.
The tour begins at 1:00 PM sharp, rain or shine. Please meet the docents at the front gate of the cemetery located at the corner of E St. and Potomac Ave.
Metro: Take the Orange/Blue line to Potomac Avenue Station, then walk to the meeting place.
Parking: Parking is available on the nearby streets, but a two hour time limit is enforced.
