Join the National Park Service for an exciting, ranger-led walking tour of the historic Logan Circle and Shaw Communities beginning the weekend of Juneteenth!

The tour will begin at 10:30 am on Saturday, June 18th, and will be given every Friday and Saturday at 10:30 am thereafter. Participants should meet at the Mary McLeod Bethune Council House NHS (located at 1318 Vermont Avenue, N.W.).
