Lesser-Known Notables of Oak Hill Cemetery
Explore one of DC's most beautiful cemeteries and learn the stories of its lesser-known inhabitants.
What to Expect
The Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown dates back to 1848, when the land was purchased by William W. Corcoran, and the cemetery created by an act of Congress. The cemetery is of the romantic style, the planning and layout working with the land around it, rather than manicuring it into submission. It contains the graves of many notable men and women, some of who perhaps are not as noted as they should be, and some who aren’t just notable but notorious. From Confederate spies to Union generals, educators to architects, Civil War to Cold War, this tour will take you around this beautiful cemetery and recount tales of those who use it as their final resting place. And yes, there will be at least one ghost story.
This approximately 2-hour tour kicks off at the Oak Hill Cemetery entry gate at 3001 R Street.
