Walking Tour: "New Deal Washington" presented by the Humanities Council of Washington, DC May 3, 2009

This walking tour of the Foggy Bottom and Downtown neighborhoods surrounding the White House gives us the opportunity to see the Federal core of Washington with new eyes, as we imagine how it looked during the Great Depression. Learn about the New Deal, and the people who created its innovative programs. The tour examines the period in which THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER is set. The tour takes place rain or shine. Be prepared for extensive walking, standing, and a few stairs. Free Admission, but advance registration is required; limited to 25. ASL interpretation available (please include request with your reservation). A self-guided tour is available to download from www.wdchumanities.org.

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Tour limited to 25 persons. Contact
