Behind the Scenes at the National Cathedral

The National Cathedral is one of the crown jewels of Washington, DC. While many of us have had the pleasure of visiting the Cathedral and hearing its story, there are many sights unavailable to the average visitor. This tour will take us to areas not available on the general public tour. Discover the Cathedral’s hidden stories on the behind-the-scenes tour as you marvel at the building’s artistry and engineering. Journey through stone stairwells and passageways to see stained glass windows up close and magnificent views from the heights. Be prepared for stair climbing, close quarters, and heights. This tour runs approximately 90 minutes. Please note that this a private tour for OLLI members and their guests and space is very limited.

We will meet at 9:30 at the main entrance of the cathedral. The tour will start at 10:00 AM.
