Morning at the Museum 11/4 (In-Person)

Our Queens Court community is visiting the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. to deepen our understanding of history, honor the memory of those affected, and reflect on the lessons that still resonate today.

Meetup: Our walking group will head out from Queens Court at 10am and take the blue/orange/silver metro line together from the Rosslyn metro station to the Smithsonian metro station near the museum. If you are going to meet us directly at the museum, then plan to arrive by 11am. Please note that public parking is limited in downtown DC, so using public transport or ride share is advised.

Accomodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at claudet@ourstompingground.org with the subject line “Accomodation Request.”

*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
