Woodrow Wilson House is pleased to present Call-O-Rama, a cell phone audio tour of Embassy Row. Narrated by acclaimed journalist and best-selling author Cokie Roberts, this tour provides an inside look at the history and cultural diversity of this magnificent neighborhood. Listeners will also hear special commentary from those who know Embassy Row best: the diplomats, historic site representatives, and residents who live and work here.

Brochures are available, free of charge, at featured sites, including Woodrow Wilson House, The Textile Museum, The Phillips Collection, and Anderson House. A free podcast version of the tour is also available for download at www.EmbassyRowTour.org

The tour, which consists of over 40 different stops, includes information and commentary on area buildings and the reminiscences of local residents. Call-O-Rama makes it fun and easy for listeners of all ages to learn more about the rich history of Embassy Row. Simply locate the stop on the free map and dial the number listed. It’s as easy as that!

Who knew that the Embassy Row was once home to the Hope Diamond, that the inventor of the bottle cap lived in what is now the Turkish Ambassador’s Residence, or that the neighborhood contains America’s first museum of modern art and Washington’s only presidential museum? Take the tour to find out more about these and other fun facts.

Call-O-Rama is supported, in part, by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Interpretation and Education Fund. Special thanks to Emily Pope, Cokie Roberts, the George Washington University Museum Education Program, the Association of the Oldest Inhabitants of DC, the Sheridan-Kalorama Historical Society, and participating embassies, museums, cultural organizations, and historic sites.
