Overview

Deep, dark secrets about a forgotten past lie among the manicured gardens and Victorian row houses of DC’s finest neighborhood.

Historical figures stayed here, documenting their experiences in letters & journals. Some have never left, haunting these grand homes to this day.

On this family-friendly nighttime tour, you will learn about this town and be enchanted by its past, present, and future. Halloween vibes all year long.

-Hear stories of a young boy trapped after his accidental death in the oldest residence in DC.

-Learn what happened in Civil War hospitals that make an apartment seem unliveable.

-Learn about the curse of Abraham Lincoln's son.

-Hear a story of a nanny's undying love for her charges - and her rules.

-See lights flicker at a house whose past resident hated electricity and whose ghost haunts our guides.

-End the tour at the famous Exorcist Steps and hear how this movie was based on a true local story. Do you dare to walk down the creepy stairs at night?
