About this event

Ridge Line to Red Line -- 200 Years in the Life of downtown Bethesda. Wondering how much of Bethesda's history survives amidst the high rises that line Wisconsin Avenue? The answer is more than you probably think, and we'll uncover much of it as we explore how and why Bethesda came to be where and what it is today and talk about what it went through along the way. And yes, there will be lots of pictures.

Due to traffic and safety concerns, attendance is limited to 15. RSVP on the website or to director@bmavillage.org

We will be covering about 1 1/2 miles, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather [e.g., sunscreen if it's a sunny day]. There will be an indoor snack and bathroom break midway through the tour.

This tour is sponsored by the Bethesda Historical Society and led by BMAV member, and Bethesda Meeting House board member, Hank Levine. Learn more about BHS here https://bethesdahistoricalsociety.org/membership-form/.

We start near the Bethesda Metro stop and end near Anthropologie on Bethesda Avenue. Details will be sent to confirmed participants.
