Overview
Step into the shadows of Dupont Circle, one of Washington, D.C.'s most vibrant neighborhoods, and uncover its sinister past. This walking tour invites you to explore the forgotten stories, eerie locations, and hidden secrets that lurk beneath the surface of this seemingly picturesque area.
As you stroll through tree-lined streets and past grand townhouses, your guide will lead you through a labyrinth of historical events, from the days of Civil War espionage and political intrigue to the rise of vice and corruption in the early 20th century. You’ll visit places that once echoed with the cries of the city’s most notorious figures, from unsolved murders to clandestine meetings of political power players.
