Are you a big fan of Mt. Pleasant?

Join local historian Mara Cherkasky for an hour-long walking tour of the neighborhood next Saturday, March 19!

*No reservations needed; great for all ages. Mara and the group will meet at the Mt. Pleasant Library at 2 pm and will return to the library at 3 pm.

Mara Cherkasky is a historian focusing on Washington DC, co-founder of Prologue DC, LLC, and one of three collaborators on the public history project Mapping Segregation in Washington DC.

Other work focusing on Mount Pleasant history includes an Arcadia book (2007), a chapter in Washington at Home: An Illustrated History of Neighborhoods in the Nation’s Capital (2010), a slide show, and numerous walking tours. More on her work is at http://prologuedc.com/ .
