A free walking tour from Mary McLeod Bethune Council House NHS to the Carter G. Woodson Home NHS will be offered every Friday in February at 1:00 pm (February 7, 14, 21, and 28).

Dr. Carter G. Woodson was affectionately known as “The Bookman” by residents in the Shaw neighborhood, and this walking tour (approx. 45 minutes) retraces routes and places frequented by Dr. Woodson and represents landmarks in Black History.

Participants should meet at the Mary McLeod Bethune Council House NHS (located at 1318 Vermont Avenue, N.W.) In the event of inclement weather such as a thunderstorm, snow, or extreme cold, the tour will not be given.
