SPIES OF CAPITOL HILL WALKING TOUR

New in 2005

		Capitol Hill has been famous for two hundred years as the scene of political deal-making, of political maneuvering, of political gamesmanship, and also of acts of great political courage and distinction. Lesser known are the acts of espionage that have occurred in the very shadow of the dome of the US Capitol.
The Capitol

What connection does today's Hill have with spying activities of four hundred years ago? What little known husband and wife team truly changed the course of American intelligence? What Hill personage gave his name to an entire era, and how is he regarded today? We will see the offices and homes of some famous Hill residents (some of whom we do not usually associated with espionage), and learn little known spy stories about some of the most famous buildings in Washington.
