Many groups have contributed to building community and culture in Washington, DC, including Jewish Americans. Their contributions are as rich and varied as Jewishness itself, reflecting the centrality of Jewish narratives in the nation’s capital. They worked on Capitol Hill in the halls of Congress, fighting for justice. They founded community organizations, helping build the ties that bind Washingtonians. They established businesses, pursuing the American dream. They worked in the arts and humanities, helping individuals explore the depths of human expression.
These are just some of the Jewish narratives preserved at Historic Congressional Cemetery. Dozens of Jews are interred at Congressional and their stories remain as a testament to the dedication of Jewish Americans to live and thrive in DC. We invite you to take a guided tour that will illuminate this history.
Tickets are only $10 and all proceeds go to benefitting our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. This is a non-refundable donation.
Please come prepared with comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes, as the tours often stray from the main paths. Tours are rain or shine. Visitors may meet docents at the front gate of the cemetery located at the corner of E St. and Potomac Ave.
