Presidential Playground: Dupont Walking Tour & Vintage Game Night

Starting Wednesday, 10/6

Join us on the 1st Wednesday of every month for an evening of history, scandal, architecture, fun and games!
DC Design Tours and The Woodrow Wilson House are excited to partner in bringing back our Dupont Circle Neighborhood Walking Tour and Vintage Game Night event series: a one hour guided walk, exploring the Gilded Age era of Dupont Circle, replete with opulent mansions, grand embassies and sordid scandals of the Washington elite, concluding at the authentically furnished home of our 28th President, where snacks, drinks, and vintage games from the 1920s, 30s and 40s all await!
Outdoor tables and games will be available, weather-permitting. Masks are required indoors per DC guidelines.

This event meets in the center of Dupont Circle at 5:30pm and concludes at The Woodrow Wilson House in about an hour, where the fun continues at Vintage Game Night until 8:30pm.
Pack a picnic blanket or lawn chair, dress in your best 20's attire, and join us for a screening of "Downton Abbey" (2019) in our tented outdoor garden! Guests will be treated to access through The President Woodrow Wilson House Museum and a complimentary bag of popcorn. Soda, wine, beer, and additional bags of popcorn will be available for purchase.

Access to the Museum begins at 7:00 pm. Screening begins at 7:30 pm.
