New Walking Tour: Georgetown and the Kennedys

Most people walk right by the brick house at 3307 N Street in Georgetown and never think twice. Dig up one of the thousands of photos of JFK and his bride and you will soon realize this was the last place they lived before moving to the White House.

John and Jackie Kennedy cut a wide swath through Georgetown. Bachelor JFK rented a variety of houses and then he and his bride tried out a few residences before settling into one of the most historic homes in Georgetown. We will also touch on Jackie's post White House years and those lesser-known Kennedy's who nested, ate and shopped in Georgetown. These and other places where all the Kennedys had influence and left their historic mark on Georgetown will be examined.

This comprehensive tour will explore both sides of Wisconsin Avenue, with stories of other local characters distantly related to the Kennedy's spun throughout the walk.

An optional post reception (cash bar) will be offered.
