Learn about the seedy side of historical Rosslyn

Before the glass towers and bustling streets of modern-day Rosslyn, this quiet village on the Potomac was a place of danger, intrigue, and conflict. Beneath today’s polished skyline lies a darker past—one filled with scandal, violence, and shocking twists.

Join Parks Historian Blake Lindsey for a journey into Rosslyn’s shadowy history and discover how the events of its turbulent past helped forge the neighborhood we know today.
