Trespass into the past and discover the secrets of some of Congressional Cemetery's "residents." Soul Strolls, the Cemetery's annual twilight tours, explore the stories of individuals buried here through guided tours and costumed interpreters. Experience the history of this hallowed ground exactly the way it should be experienced in October - in twilight and darkness, happening upon vignettes and individuals under the guidance of one of our "Dozen Decent Docents."

We are again excited to offer a VIP option to a select group of visitors. Our Public Vault will be transformed into "Circa 1807", an early 19th-century soiree harkening back to the years that the cemetery was founded and DC was a new town. At the conclusion of the public tour, your docent will lead you to the Public Vault, where VIPs will be admitted to a cocktail party that Dolley Madison would have been proud to throw - and perhaps she'll even make an appearance?

This event always sells out, so do yourself a favor and snag your spot today!
