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! We begin the evening on 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. The tour concludes 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.

DC Design Tours offers walking tours across the District, sharing local history through the framework of architecture and design. DCDT was founded in 2015 by Carolyn Muraskin. Carolyn created this DC-based, woman-owned small business with the mission of combining her passion for architecture and love for the Federal Capital, to share the stories behind some of the most iconic buildings and best hidden gems in Washington, DC. The Historic Georgetown and Dupont Circle & Embassy Row tours are some of our most popular, especially among locals!
The Woodrow Wilson House offers tours, programs, special events, rentals of the venue, exhibitions and educational programming. When Woodrow Wilson and his wife Edith retired from the White House in 1921 they made this house their home. Just off the beaten path of Embassy Row in the heart of Washington, D.C. the house is historically preserved - a time capsule from 1924 that is open daily to visitors. Since 1963, the National Trust has opened the doors of the Woodrow Wilson House to the public, examining the impact of his consequential presidency and, more recently, taking an honest appraisal of Wilson’s triumphs and shortcomings. Today, we are proud to steward this site as a vibrant community resource and a model of preservation and historical collections.
