Teaching DC Neighborhoods

Neighborhood Heritage Trails

Created by Cultural Tourism, the Neighborhood Heritage Trails are the official walking trails of Washington, DC. These self-guided walking tours provide a glimpse into the rich diversity of DC's neighborhoods, past and present. The 18 trails, some contained within specific neighborhoods and others offering a thematic tour through multiple communities, are available both in-person on the street, as well as downloadable PDFs. 

Created by the Historic Preservation Office, the Ward Heritage Guides are arranged by ward, and available as downloadable PDFs,
