Sports History Walking Tour in Washington
Overview
Playmaker Tours are not trivia tours - we offer history tours that use sports as an entryway to our national story, because the world of sports is where some of the most important stories in American life actually happened.
Uncover hidden moments that made history in DC and around the world, and hear new angles of stories you may have heard before. Discover a Major League catcher becoming a World War II spy, the lawsuit over public golf access that cracked open civil rights law, how photos of the president’s daughter at the racetrack caused a scandal, and so much more.
Join us for incredible sports stories hiding in plain sight among our national landmarks!
