 Oak Hill Cemetery is one of our favorite historic and beautiful places to explore in Georgetown and DC by Foot is excited to partner with them to offer specialized walking tours of their grounds.

Practically a country club of the afterlife, Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown is where elite Washingtonians have come to rest for generations.

Both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis walked Oak Hill in mourning for their lost loved ones. Come along on this special tour of the cemetery and learn about the design and history of this unique and special place.

On the Oak Hill Cemetery tour, you’ll walk through windy pathways to visit the Gothic Oak Hill Chapel, designed by renowned architect James Renwick.
