Event Detail

As the US marks 250 years, honor George Washington, America’s first spymaster, by upping your own spy game. While the ordinary tourist will be visiting monuments and historic sites, you’ll be exploring GW’s step granddaughter’s home while on the hunt for a mysterious and suspicious suspect. As night falls on Tudor Place, you’ll step into the world of surveillance with Spy Hunter Eric O’Neill, the former FBI operative who helped take down the most damaging spy in US history—Robert Hanssen. Planted as Hanssen’s assistant, O’Neill’s real mission was to spy on the spy. His expertise? Tracking targets without being seen. Now, it’s your turn. Can you stay covert better than the British did in their redcoats? Will you keep your mark in sight while navigating the garden and galleries of Tudor Place? This intense, small-group surveillance workshop will take you from the historic site through some of Georgetown’s most scenic and shadowy corners. You’ll learn how to discreetly snap intel, track without being tracked, and sharpen your observation skills—all while blending into the festive Friday night crowd. And after the mission? A well-earned debrief over cocktails (or mocktails) to trade stories and assess your spycraft. Ready to test your tradecraft under the cover of cherry blossoms?  Tickets: $225; Member tickets: $175.
