District of Columbia

A walking tour through Washington D.C. history can feel like a stroll across the nation itself. Home to so many masters of American art forms and repositories of its culture, the city presents countless landmarks of national tragedy and milestones of countrywide struggle. But some capital lore is distinct to the district. Dig up D.C.’s agrarian roots and explore the wilderness of Rock Creek Park. One spin round Dupont Circle in finery from Woodies might feel like a trip across state lines, but you’re still in the same neighborhood of our District of Columbia history book catalogue.
