Museum of American History, Library of Congress
Two venues today.
First the Museum of American History. Amazing place. Impossible to describe everything there or even give give an inkling. As with the Air and Space Museum (and I presume the yet to see Natural History Museum) go see this place if at all possible.
Three of the more commonly known displays of American History.
Dorothy’s shoes
Abe’s hat
Mickey’s ears.
Library of Congress.
We had a congressman arranged tour and it was very good. Guide was very informative about the building, history of the library, and the many historical and unique displays. Many of the buildings in the capitol are ornate and filled with paintings and statues. This is one of the best and the guide made it all come to life.
A few of the books from Jefferson’s library which formed the beginning of the Library of Congress.
