Rated 3.5 by 2 members who went.

In 1941, millions of Americans began to descend on Washington to aid the new war effort. The city would never be the same. This walking tour tells the story of the remarkable, often haphazard, transformation of Washington from a sleepy southern town into a wartime global capital. Step back in time and learn about government girls (10 for each guy), segregation, Hollywood stars, alphabet cities, bunkers, and secret spies.
