Decatur House

748 Jackson Pl NW, , Washington DC, 20006-4912, District of Columbia

The home of Stephen Decatur. During his time, he was one of the nation’s most celebrated naval commanders. Many of his political friends were certain that Stephen Decatur would become president.

Lafayette Square

16th St, Pennsylvania Ave Northwest, Washington DC, 20001, District of Columbia

Where trees, paths, and statues now lay, these grounds used to house a graveyard, a racetrack, a zoo, and an apple orchard. Some even speculate that a slave market was held here. You can only imagine the wealth of history and hauntings that exist in the illustrious Lafayette Square, but thanks to this tour your imagination won't be all you have!
