#15 Behind the Tour: Springtime in Washington, D.C.

SUMMARY Its Springtime and in Washington, D.C. as the Cherry Trees and the flowers are all in bloom the city celebrates new life.

We begin with our segment on Colonial Colloquialisms exploring Red Letter Days and good old Yankee Doodle. We are joined by Julie Groton, ACTS EPL and discuss springtime in Washington, D.C. We talk about the lady behind the beautification of the city, another lady who helped bring a special treasure to the city, and then we touch briefly on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln – which took place on Holy Week in 1865. We then discuss the Easter sunrise services and transition into a discussion about Arlington Cemetery with a special story about Section 60 with Julie Groton and a recent tour.
