The National Museum of History, located on the National Mall in Washington, was built and opened in 1964, and the museum shuttles visitors through a variety of scientific, cultural, social and military exhibits throughout the history of the United States for more than 200 years. Compared with the surrounding museum buildings, the historical museum of pure white marble architecture is quite low-key. It is highly recommended to use this as the first stop of the DC Museum tour, learn about history, and then visit the Lincoln Memorial and Capitol in Washington Square. The experience will be better.

What more to say? It’s a Smithsonian approved site! And the only zoo, at that. On a serious note though, there’s a lot to unwind here, making for a good whole day’s trip.

The National Cathedral is also a very important religious site in the city, and the cathedral itself is also very distinctive, containing a lot of exquisite content, and the cathedral's huge structure is also worthy of appreciation.

The National Geographic Museum is a famous museum of nature and history in Washington, which is suitable for going with children. We think it is worth buying tickets to visit. When I think of National Geographic, I think of those beautiful photos.

Another Greek-style eclectic building in Washington, on the northeast side of the Capitol, next to the State Court, and across a small road from Congress, this place is very small, but the building is beautiful.

Big, bold and impressive just like how I believe he would have been during his time. Like most the statutes and memorials in Dc it did not disappoint.
