Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour This Weekend: Figure 1

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society will host its 52nd Annual House and Garden Tour this weekend (May 9th and 10th). The house tour (one of the best in the city) is a great opportunity to get a peek inside some of the most historic homes in Capitol Hill.

The tour will include homes and gardens south of Pennsylvania Avenue between 1st and 15th Streets, SE. There will be a candle light tour from 4pm-8pm on Saturday and it will continue on Mother’s Day from 11am to 5pm. On Saturday, The Home of the Commandants at Marine Barracks Washington, one of the oldest continuously occupied public buildings in the city, will be open to tour-goers.

Tickets are $30 if purchased on the day(s) of the tour or $25 if bought in advance. For additional information and tour stops, click here.
