Walking TOURS

join us!

This fall, please join us for Industry and Innovation: a Walking Tour of the C&O Canal. Guides will take guests to sites along the C&O Canal to tell the story of how the canal shaped the industrial development of Georgetown, and how Georgetown shaped the canal. Click below to buy your ticket now!

The Canal is a refuge, a place of retreat, a long stretch of quiet and peace at the Capitol’s back door...
