Join us for a guided tour of Congressional Cemetery, sharing the secrets and stories of this hidden gem. Among the 65,000 burials at Congressional are scores of noteworthy citizens who left their mark on the city and the nation. Find out more about their amazing stories. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes, as the tours often stray from the main paths. The Cemetery is closed to dogs on Saturdays from 11am - 3pm.
Docents may pick their favorite stories or give a specialized tour, rather than giving a standard broad look at the cemetery's history. Join us for a grab bag of history and lore!
