About the event
Join Joe Himali, real estate agent, architecture enthusiast, and the voice behind @bestaddress on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, for a walking tour that brings the history and character of one of Washington’s most surprising neighborhoods to life.
At first glance, Tenleytown might look like just another stop on the Metro, but it’s so much more than that. As the second-oldest neighborhood in DC, Tenleytown has been at the crossroads of history for centuries, from the days of Indigenous communities through the Revolutionary era, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Cold War, and the Civil Rights Movement. This quiet neighborhood has hosted some remarkable figures along the way, including George Washington, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Dickens, and Walt Whitman.
On this lively walking tour, Joe will peel back the layers of Tenleytown’s past, revealing how a seemingly ordinary neighborhood became a stage for extraordinary moments. Along the way, you’ll see historic landmarks, hear stories that might surprise…
