Building Stones Tour: June 21 (free)

June 21 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Join geologist (and DCSWA Board Member) Leanne Wiberg in a walk along Constitution Avenue NW. Leanne will offer insights into the history and geography of that well-used stretch of roadway. We will learn about the varied types of building stones we encounter and come to appreciate how these building blocks of DC have changed over time. The tour will include conversations not only about some of our famous national monuments, but also about some lesser appreciated sites along the route. 

The initial gathering place will be at the top of the escalators at the Federal Triangle Metro station at 4 pm. Wear walking shoes. The route will be 1.5 miles long, excluding a walk after the tour to a nearby restaurant or bar.

This tour is limited to DCSWA members only. Participation will be capped at 14 people. Registrants will receive details and orientation materials in advance of the tour. The rain date is June 28th.
