Welcome.
Visitors to Washington, DC flock to the National Mall, where grand monuments symbolize the nation’s highest ideals. This self-guided walking tour is the eighth in a series that invites you to discover what lies beyond the monuments: Washington’s historic neighborhoods. Brightwood has been shaped by its location along a turnpike built in the early 1800s to link Washington City and Rockville, Maryland, and by its status as the site of the only Civil War battle to take place within the District of Columbia. This guide, summarizing the 18 signs of Battleground to Community : Brightwood Heritage Trail , leads you to the sites where history lives.
