Half Had Not Been Told to Me: The African American History of Lafayette Square
Lafayette Square is a unique landscape with a rich African American history -
a history that is unfortunately not often told. This spring, Decatur House shares the little-known stories of Africans Americans on the Square in a new audio walking tour, Half Had Not Been Told to Me: The African American History
of Lafayette Square. The tour debuted on April 16, in celebration of Emancipation Day in the District of Columbia, and is offered free of
charge, seven days a week, using a surprising new technology - the cell phone.

Participants only need a cell phone and tour map, available at Decatur House, and they will be on their way to exploring the rich African American history of the neighborhood of the president.

- Available indefinitely, pick up maps during our open hours
