Publisher's summary

Looking for a break from all of the monuments and museums in Washington, DC? Your host, BrightPath Tours, will take you for a walk along one of the most famous streets in the United States: Pennsylvania Avenue. Walk at your own pace, on your own schedule!

This tour begins and ends with two of the greatest generals in American history: one from the Civil War and one from WWI. We start where Pennsylvania Avenue meets 15th Street, at Pershing Park and the WWI Memorial, where we'll see the memorial to General John "Blackjack" Pershing. Along the route, we’ll see some of the rarely visited, smaller monuments, including one to the man nobody remembers, Boss Shepherd, who remade Washington, DC into the city we enjoy today! We’ll walk through historic areas where newsmen and their newspapers thrived, where the lowest rungs of society struggled to establish meager lives, and where protestors gathered and met tragic ends over the demand for their war pensions.

The tour ends at one of the largest equestrian monuments in the world—and one of the most dramatic monuments on DC’s landscape: The Ulysses S Grant Memorial.

If you're looking for something more than the museums and grand monuments, this tour will certainly add to your knowledge and enjoyment of our great Capital City!
