Courage in November!!!

Well the leaves are falling and the long underwear is pulled out of the cedar chest and it's time for the November "Courage! The Civil War in Washington". We'll reenact the War era in Washington City, celebrate the new holiday created by Abraham Lincoln (guess which one??) and take home a holiday war era recipe. Meet us at 10th and E Streets NW (across from Giffords Hot chocolate window on E and the E Street Cinema) at 11:00 am on November 20th. It's a fine way to start the holiday season and one of our guests from the Ghost Story tour won a walk on role on Halloween night so that will be an exciting event for both of us! Www.historicstrolls.com for more details. No reservations needed. Above are special photos taken during a very unusual Courage tour in 2009 when we were invited into the Clara Barton's Apartment and the Office of Missing Soldiers at 437 7th street NW by Richard S. Lyons. I climbed the stairs (in a hoop skirt!) and viewed Clara Barton's Civil War Washington home for the first time and it was delightful and dusty!
