Historic Congressional Cemetery is one of the only known cemeteries in the world with a dedicated LGBTQ+ section. To explore LGBTQ+ history and gay legacy in the nation’s capital, we hope that you will join us for this Pride Month edition of our LGBTQ+ tour. Find out who is buried here, including many LGBTQ+ activists, and learn about DC’s role in shaping the contours of the gay rights movement. 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.
