Step into the shadows of Dupont Circle, one of Washington, D.C.'s most vibrant neighborhoods, and uncover its sinister past. This walking tour invites you to explore the forgotten stories, eerie locations, and hidden secrets that lurk beneath the surface of this seemingly picturesque area.
As you stroll through tree-lined streets and past grand townhouses, your guide will lead you through a labyrinth of historical events, from the days of Civil War espionage and political intrigue to the rise of vice and corruption in the early 20th century. You’ll visit places that once echoed with the cries of the city’s most notorious figures, from unsolved murders to clandestine meetings of political power players.
Highlights of the tour include: The Dupont Circle Fountain : While today it offers a peaceful place to relax, learn of its dark association with political scandals and chilling conspiracy theories. The Ghosts of the Mayflower Hotel : Discover the long-standing rumors of hauntings at this historic hotel, where the spirits of former guests are said to still wander the halls. The Underworld of P Street : Hear about the notorious crime rings that once flourished in the area, including speakeasies and brothels operating during the Prohibition era.
Through gripping storytelling, you'll learn about the area’s hidden ties to national scandals, and explore the ghosts—both literal and metaphorical—that haunt Dupont Circle to this day. From its darker days of political machinations to the whispered tales of its haunted buildings, this tour sheds light on a side of Dupont Circle few ever see.
Are you ready to walk in the footsteps of the past—and confront the unsettling history that lies beneath the surface of one of D.C.’s most iconic neighborhoods?
