Discover the bold, bizarre, and beautiful built history of two of DC’s most eclectic and contrasting neighborhoods.
Just two miles north of the White House, the neighborhoods of 16th Street and Adams Morgan present a striking contrast. 16th Street is a broad tree-lined boulevard of elegant mansions, stately embassies, leafy parks, and grand churches, where retail shops have been banned since 1905. Adams Morgan thrives as a vibrant cultural and commercial crossroads, historically home to revolutionaries, civil rights leaders, and immigrants from around the world, with architecture as eclectic as its community.
On this walking tour, discover local urban spaces, visit quirky monuments, hear tales of social upheaval and scandal, and experience a side of DC that most visitors miss.
Where to Meet
Find your guide just outside Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park at the northeast corner of 16th St and W Street. Your tour concludes in the heart of Adams Morgan along 18th Street near Belmont Road NW.
