Columbia Heights Heritage Trail Unveiling a Great Success
The Columbia Heritage Trail unveiling was a great success and managed to beat the rain on Saturday afternoon. The turnout was spectacular. Kojo Nnamdi from WAMU (88.5) was the emcee and there were speeches by Ward 3 Council Member Mary Cheh and Ward 1 Council Member Jim Graham (among others).
Kojo Nnamdi once caught a fish…
The festivities took place at the new Columbia Heights Plaza and the actual unveiling took place just south on 14th St. in front of The Heights restaurant:

Signs are are up and down 14th Street and other spots as well (one is outside of Wonderland). You can find a complete map of the trail here.

+1 just not getting what the hope was of posting this.
Cool!
this is pretty cool. I saw one of them on my street (harvard) this weekend. I’ll probably check the trail out soon.
Anyone ever notice that these sign posts have an N on the base. Wondering if it is meant to point to “Next” or to “North” If it is meant to be North, workers put some in wrong.
As a history fan I love these trails – they’re a great way to get myself walking around neighborhoods as well.
This was a project that had such a broad level of input from so many different residents. It’s so cool to see the final product!
There will soon be another trail relatively nearby, that shows the history of parts of Pleasant Plains and Petworth via the Georgia Avenue corridor.
Cool. Now when people come to visit me, I can just tell them to go to number 5 on the Columbia Heights Heritage Trail.
I don’t know if I would call the event a great success. The sound system was terrible, and yes, there was a big turnout, but no one outside of the tent was paying any attention. They were all busy meeting up with their friends and chatting about their lives. It seems like no one could care less about what being said. The actual trail is really nice though, and I’m glad that it exists.
Confused – that’s north. And they were all correct when they went in!
“There will soon be another trail relatively nearby, that shows the history of parts of Pleasant Plains and Petworth via the Georgia Avenue corridor.”
Actually, the other trail that is coming soon will focus on history of much of Pleasant Plains and some of a Park View via the Georgia Avenue corridor. It won’t cross over into Petworth.
HAHA! That’s me reading the sign in the green windbreaker. Very stealthy of you POP!
