The “Excorcist Steps”

Highlight • Monument

The stairs were used as a filming location for the film The Exorcist. But regardless of that, I think the name is very appropriate for this steep, long staircase. If you walk up, you drive a lot out of it 😉

Built in 1765, the building is the oldest in Washington. It is also the last building that still exists from the pre-revolutionary period.

Georgetown Waterfront Park

Highlight (Segment) • River

Georgetown Waterfront Park, situated on the Potomac River, invites visitors to take a break on the edge of the vibrant historic district. The park lies directly across from Roosevelt Island and offers views westward to Key Bridge and eastward to the Kennedy Center and Memorial Bridge. We were fortunate enough to enjoy the late afternoon sun on a clear autumn day.
