Member Only Walking Tour: Oak Hill and Mount Zion/Female Union Band Society Cemeteries
Join the DC Preservation League for this first-of-its kind collaboration – Oak Hill Cemetery and Mount Zion/Female Union Band Society Cemetery have never hosted an in person tour event like this together!
Oak Hill Cemetery and the Mount Zion Cemetery (which includes the Female Union Band cemetery) are two historic, adjacent cemeteries in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC. Together, these two cemeteries tell a powerful story of racial inequality and segregation.
This tour will explore both cemeteries on foot, with leaders from each presenting on the history of the grounds, information on how the land was developed, and ongoing stewardship.
Please note the terrain for this tour can be steep and rocky and will certainly present challenges to those with mobility aids; long pants and long sleeve shirts recommended to avoid poison ivy, long grasses, and other invasives; and walking shoes and water recommended. If you have questions about accessibility, please email kelli@dcpreservation.org.
Tickets: You must be a current DCPL Member to attend this tour! DCPL Member tickets cost $35; new members will pay $55 to join DCPL and $35 for the event ticket.
**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
