African American Heritage Trails adds 100th point of interest

The African American Heritage Trail winds across the District, identifying sites that are important in local and national history and culture. The trail consists of a searchable database, a free booklet and sites marked by historical plaques. At 10 a.m. Tuesday, the trail’s 100th plaque will be unveiled at 931 R St. NW, the former location of Fire Engine Company No. 4 — the city’s first all-black fire station. The booklet on the trail can be downloaded online or picked up at a neighborhood location. For more information, go to culturaltourismdc.org.
