Congressional Unleashed: Pets Guided Tour

In honor of National Pet Memorial Day, Historic Congressional Cemetery is once again offering Congressional Unleashed: Pets Guided Tour. This variation of our introductory tour highlights a selection of some of our notable residents, many of whom were devoted to dogs and pets. You’ll learn about the origin of our celebrated K9 Corps and its vital role in the cemetery’s transformation from endangered historic site to national historic landmark. 

True to its name, the “Unleashed” tour goes for its walk when the grounds are open to members of our off-leash dog walking program. You may also bring your own furry friend on this tour if you are a K9 Corps member or if you purchase a day pass in addition to your ticket.

Tickets are only $10 and all proceeds go to benefitting our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. This is a non-refundable donation.

Please come prepared with comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes, as the tours often stray from the main paths. Tours are rain or shine. Visitors may meet docents at the front gate of the cemetery located at the corner of E St. and Potomac Ave.
