Members Who Went Said:I really enjoyed this tour. Carolyn was very professional and provided a nice overview of Franklin, Scott and Logan Circles.
Camille Bought tickets for this as a surprise anniversary gift for my husband, who loves the beauty and charm of the city. The tour was fun and informative—Carolyn was very friendly and knowledgeable. Her love for the city and Logan Circle in particular was obvious and her enthusiam was contagious. Put that together with unusually beautiful weather (low humidity in August in DC!) and it was a perfect day.
Alison C. Curious DC resident Carolyn was an amazing story teller and tour guide. I learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone! |

More Details About This Event: Few Washington neighborhoods have witnessed the dramatic change and breathtaking renaissance of Logan Circle, the city's only unaltered Victorian residential district. It evolved from rural obscurity to an enclave of architectural splendor, home to wealthy white and later African-American residents. If you're a fan of Second Empire or High Victorian Gothic homes, this walk is for you. If you're fascinated by the dynamics of urban neighborhoods, consider the residents of Logan Circle: Their tenacity and vision preserved the historic district when it teetered on the brink of decline. Today it is one of the most sought-after addresses in Washington. Impressive restoration and renovation continue; cool restaurants and shops multiply.
