Congressional Cemetery

Yes, that is a dachshund snuffling around J Edgar Hoover's tombstone, while a black lab lopes over the final resting place of composer John Philip Sousa. That's because the Congressional Cemetery – a burial ground of famous Washingtonians since 1807 – doubles as a members-only dog park. It's a terrific spot for a ramble and to connect with DC locals past and present.
