It’s one of D.C.’s most obscure landmarks — connecting back to the very construction of our nation’s capital — in a spot you might drive or walk by every day and never notice.
In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” we’re heading to a little clearing on the side of Rock Creek Parkway to uncover the Godey Lime Kilns.
To uncover these hidden gems, we enlisted the help of a D.C. explorer/creator who has been to all 136-plus of D.C.’s neighborhoods, Austin Graff.
Come along to learn about why many federal buildings, and many structures on the campus of a certain D.C. university, owe pieces of themselves to these forgotten landmarks.
