Take a Tour of Hidden Union Station
Go behind the scenes at this local transit hub with the Atlas Obscura Society DC, National Trust for Historic Preservation and Union Station Redevelopment Corporation as you venture into areas normally off limits to the public. Tickets for the hour and a half tour are $25, and there's a limited number of them. It sounds like an awesome way to spend a weekend morning. Sunday, July 16th 10–11:30 am.
If you like train stations, you might also enjoy this recent City Lab article on the history of designing them.

Nevermind - those are the community center hours.
The address for DC Harvest is 517 H street NE.
