Today, its streets preserve more than 270 years of history, where elegant townhouses, hidden gardens, historic churches, and cobblestone lanes tell stories of commerce, politics, diplomacy, and everyday life.</p> <p>Our private walking tours explore Georgetown through multiple lenses, including architecture, preservation, African American history, international diplomacy, literary history, and the neighborhood&rsquo;s surprising role during the Cold War. Along the way, we&rsquo;ll examine how Georgetown evolved from a bustling tobacco port into one of America&rsquo;s most celebrated historic districts.</p>
