SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Historic Mount Pleasant
DESCRIPTION:The Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington\, DC\, along with nearby Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights\, became the center of DC’s Latino community in the postwar era. In the 1940s\, Puerto Ricans and Mexicans arrived in the capital to obtain work in the expanding federal bureaucracy. In the 1950s and 1960s\, Latin American diplomats brought embassy staff to Adams Morgan\, moving in alongside an influx of Dominicans and Cubans seeking economic opportunity and an escape from political conflict in their home countries. The growing Latin American community continued its expansion into Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights through Salvadoran and Central American immigration in the 1970s and 1980s\, as civil war and domestic unrest unfolded in various nations. \nThrough the National Park Service’s Underrepresented Communities Grant Fund\, DCPL and the DC Historic Preservation Office collaborated on a historic context study\, published in 2025\, focused on DC’s Latino community. In addition to this study exploring the city’s Latino history\, two properties associated with this history\, Rosemount Center/House of Mercy and the Latin American Youth Center\, were added to the National Register of Historic Place. This tour will visit these recently designated historic landmarks\, as well as several locations in the Mount Pleasant Historic District. \nThis tour will start in front of the Next Step Public Charter School\, 3047 15th St NW\, and end at the Rosemount Center\, 2000 Rosemount Avenue NW. The route is approximately 0.8 miles. The return route from Rosemount Center has a slight incline\, so please plan accordingly. \nDCPL Member Tickets are $15 | Non-Member Tickets $25 \n**Please Note** DCPL members must be signed in to their DCPL online account in order to receive the member ticket price. If you have any trouble registering\, email kelli@dcpreservation.org \nCancellations/Refunds: Requests for refunds will only be considered more than 5 days prior to the event\, and transaction fees will be subtracted from the refund total. Cancellations 5 days or less from the event will not be refunded\, but the ticket cost can be converted to a tax-deductible donation. \nREGISTER HERE
