At first glance, Tenleytown appears to be just another stop on the Metro, but it’s much more than that! Join the DC History Center with Joe Himali of Best Address to learn more!

Tenleytown is the second oldest neighborhood in Washington, DC, and has been at the crossroads of history for hundreds of years—from the time of indigenous people to Colonial times, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, and even today. Famous Tenleytown visitors include George Washington, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Dickens, Walt Whitman, and many more.

Come learn more about this unheralded neighborhood on this fascinating walking tour!
