Experience the history of Americaâs capitol with this uniquely engaging and informative guidebook. Alternating between site visits and brief historical narratives, this guide tells the story of Washington, DC, from its origins to current times. From George Washingtonâs Mount Vernon to the Kennedy Center, trek through each era of the federal district, on a tour of Americaâs most beloved sites. Go inside the White House, the only executive home in the world regularly open to the public. Travel to President Lincolnâs Cottage and see where he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. And visit lesser-known sites, such as the grave of Pierre LâEnfant, the cityâs Botanical Gardens, the Old Post Office, and a host of historical homes throughout the capital. This is the only guide youâll need to curate an unforgettable expedition to our shining city on a hill.
