On this tour of approximately 90-minutes, one of our trained docents who will share the stories of some of Congressional’s interred residents while walking the beautiful and scenic cemetery grounds.
Please come prepared with comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes, as the tours often stray from the main paths.
