H Street, NE History Project

We are seeking input from individuals in the community to develop a time line and tapestry of influential people, places, businesses and events in and around H Street Northeast. We are also in need of volunteers- writers, researchers, interviewers, photographers, and you!

Join us on Saturday, November 7 from 11:00 AM -12:30 PM in Room A-5 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library, 901 G Street NW, (Gallery Place Metro) for an informational session about the project and how you can get involved.

H Street Northeast is one of the fastest developing commercial corridors in the District of Columbia. This project seeks to acknowledge the legacy and heritage of a community undergoing urban renewal and capture the stories behind the cultural and historical assets of the one-and-a-half mile commercial corridor, giving the street many of it’s unique character and traditions from the 1900’s and beyond.
