Synopsis

Let Secret Washington DC guide you around the unusual and unfamiliar. Step off the beaten track with this fascinating Washington guide book and let our local experts show you the well-hidden treasures of this amazing city. Ideal for local inhabitants and curious visitors alike.

A Darth Vader gargoyle on a church, a giant chair, the longest escalator in the western hemisphere, a faithful replica of the Holy Land for those who cannot make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem, a fence forged from War of 1812 muskets, a yet uncracked cryptographic sculpture ...

Far from the crowds and the usual cliches, Washington DC is a reserve of well-concealed treasures only revealed to those who know how to wander off the beaten track, whether resident or visitor.
