Adventures for Creative Tourists & First Friday Dupont
Join me with a historic walking tour around Dupont Circle during First Friday Dupont. This tour is a great way to see this historic neighborhood.
Dupont Circle is one of the most renowned neighborhoods in this city, and its residents played an enormous role in the cultural development of the capital. Beginning at the Dupont Circle Fountain, we embark on a leisurely stroll through history, returning in spirit to the debate that raged over artistic issues in the Nineteenth Century. Stories of local residents who were instrumental in the establishment of the Smithsonian and the National Gallery of Art will come alive for you as you walk past these well-preserved sites:
- Anderson House
- Cosmos Club
- Eleanor Wadsworth House
- Frasier Mansion
- Patterson House
- Order of the Eastern Star
Your tour continues with stops at First Friday Dupont Participanting locations.
