The Letterboxer’s Tour of Georgetown is a series of ten microboxes highlighting special areas of this historical section of Washington, D.C. For optimal letterboxing, we suggest driving for the northern boxes as parking is less of an issue. As you near M Street, however, it would be wise to park and walk to the remaining boxes. This series is bike friendly, as well, and total distance from the first to last box is slightly over three miles.
This is a microbox series stored in film canisters. Each contains only a stamp and Box 10 houses the logbook for the entire series. Be sure to print out the map below as well as the clue sheet for each box by clicking on the buttons below.
This is an urban microbox series. Discretion is an absolute must! If there is a chance you will be seen removing a microbox, please do not – wait it out or come back at a later time. Re-hiding the boxes as well as you found them and well out of plain sight is critical to the survival of this series. Please place them back in their hiding spots exactly as described in the pictures so that they don't get lost! Most microboxes are held in place with velcro, so make sure to replace them securely and completely hidden from view!
Please email to let us know how your tour went and if anything is amiss. Happy heisting!!
P.S. Public restrooms and cheap eats can be found in the ‘Shops At Georgetown Park’ near Boxes 8 and 9.
P.P.S. As of 10/21/2007, Box 3 is missing but all other boxes are reported in good condition. We added a fresh logbook to #10, but please try to conserve space in the book!
