Call me weird, but I have always been inspired by cemeteries and the Congressional Cemetery is the very best in DC. The history it brings is fascinating and their are many DC famous people buried here. In addition, it's a great place to walk around and see the city. It's on a hill so there are some good views of Capitol Hill and Anacostia. There's a small church in the center of the cemetery and they have an organ player come every Sunday to play for the public in the afternoon for free. One interesting thing about this cemetery is that it's a dog park too. Capitol Hill residents can pay an annual fee to walk their dogs there. As you stroll, beware of dogs. If you love dogs like I do, this is icing on the cake!

Unique place with lots of events going on every week. Go on a guided tour - you'll learn a lot about American/DC history. It also functions as a members dog park so it's pretty neat to see them running around as well.
A lovely place for a stroll. Historic and quirky. They have free walking tour brochures at the entrance. The LGBTQ tour brochure includes the claim they have the world's only dedicated LGBTQ section of gravesites and memorials. Famous people include photographer, Mathew Brady and composer, John Phillip Sousa. Beware off-leash dogs.
This cemetery's got everything.
Worth the visit.
Dogs, geocaches, light-up tombstones, senators & representatives, statues of children with butterflies? Check.
I had heard about this cemetery but like most thought Arlington was the one to visit but had a couple of hours spare and decided to take visit.
It was an incredible experience and wished I had more time to wander around the many poignant memorials.
Totem poles? Check.
