Rewriting Washington's Neighborhood History

Rewriting Washington's Neighborhood History

Packed into the District's 68 square miles are dozens of distinct neighborhoods, rich with history and character.

Of the millions who visit Washington D.C. each year, few venture beyond the monuments and museums. But packed into the District's 68 square miles are dozens of distinct neighborhoods, rich with history and character. We explore some of our area's stories with the historian and author of "Washington at Home."
