Historic Alleyways Walking Tour



Explore one of DC's more obscure but fascinating features

2nd Sundays, Now - Nov 12, 2023. From: 10:00 AM to 11:30AM

The alleyways of DC served a distinct purpose as a city planning feature, but they also provided a hidden safe space where escaped enslaved people and the economically disadvantaged could find inexpensive housing and live their lives away from prying eyes. While city officials condemned life in the alleyways as dangerous, dirty and diseased, they were in fact a place where communities sustained each other and provided security. This walking tour takes you through the Blagden Alley/Naylor Court Historic District, and reveals their secrets.
