If you’re downtown today, make note of all the road closures and the fact that at 1 PM there are already people set up along Constitution Ave by the Ellipse

One of the opportunities we offer to student groups (or any group!) are neighborhood experiences. More than just a walking tour, we volunteer, meet with locals, eat lunch at a local restaurant.

Give Time, Spend Money, Take Knowledge.

This gives guests a better chance to really EXPERIENCE a neighborhood beyond a tour.

We’re so grateful for and for meeting with our student group to discuss modern U St NW - redevelopment, gentrification, revitalization.

We discussed how a neighborhood that is going through such a dramatic change can preserve its history and character.

We ❤️ day trips to Baltimore from DC - easy drive or even better train ride 🚂!

Today we are exploring the Baltimore Museum of Industry.

Located in an old cannery complex, the museum focuses on different industry from the 19th and 20th century.

There are interactive exhibits and the whole museum is set up to mimic the actual shops, warehouses, and industry.

We came for a homeschool activity day but my kids asked if they can stay longer to explore the museum on their own. Proud museum nerd mama moment but that is a big deal for my 5 and 7 year old who don’t love museums usually!
