I've Got a Secret - Washington DC Trivia Tour

I've Got a Secret

We weren't sure we wanted to offer this walk at all. Did we really want to share our secrets about America's capital city with everyone? But they're just too wacky and amazing to keep to ourselves. This walk is perfect for every smarty-pants suffering the delusion of omniscience about the nation’s capital as well as those looking for Little Known Facts with which to impress friends and loved ones. We’ll test your knowledge with fun-filled quizzes (prizes awarded for correct answers!) as we meander through one of D.C.’s most familiar places: the National Mall. What could possibly be secret about it? Without giving anything away, we offer the following tidbits: a tree house on the National Mall, a castle’s petulant ghost, a bordello under a museum, driving down a canal, and the severed leg of a Civil War general.
