Points of Interest
Stop At: Eisenhower Executive Office Building
1650 Pennsylvania Ave NW, , Washington DC, District of Columbia
Harry Truman called it America's greatest monstrosity. Mark Twain referred to it as the ugliest building in America. Regardless, it is considered the most haunted office building in America, and on this tour you will get to find out why!
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Decatur House
748 Jackson Pl NW, , Washington DC, District of Columbia
The home of Stephen Decatur. During his time, he was one of the nation’s most celebrated naval commanders. Many of his political friends were certain that Stephen Decatur would become president. And, who knows, maybe he could have been. But James Barron kind of ruined those chances, and you're here to find out how!
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Lafayette Square
16th St, Pennsylvania Ave Northwest, Washington DC, District of Columbia
Where trees, paths, and statues now lay, these grounds used to house a graveyard, a racetrack, a zoo, and an apple orchard. Some even speculate that a slave market was held here. You can only imagine the wealth of history and hauntings that exist in the illustrious Lafayette Square, but thanks to this tour your imagination won't be all you have!
