Soul Strolls

Every year, Congressional Cemetery opens its gates for four evenings right before Hallowe’en to allow visitors to meet some of its residents. The fun really starts after dark, so here’s a post-sunset shot of the cemetery (RSP)
Martha Brooks was assaulted by her daughter’s paramour back in 1893. Fortunately, her extremely hard skull protected her from her husband’s fate. They are buried together just to the right of the marker behind Mrs. Brooks. (RSP)
A new addition to this year’s stroll is a beer garden, based on the many German-run locales across the Hill. (RSP)
