The capitol building is also a must-see of Washington D.C. So much history has taken place in that place! That could be said about the whole city, but the capitol building is quite impressive, not just the structure but what it represents.
While in America’s capitol, do not forget to explore the museums! The Smithsonian Institution of the National Air and Space Museum is full of fun and famous displays. Space capsules, rockets, gliders, and planes fill the museum. The actual Spirit of St. Louis hangs from the ceiling, and a replica of Amelia Earhart’s plane is displayed. The Imax Theatre is also a great attraction to witness.
The Museum of Natural History is also full of artifacts of America’s past. Abraham Lincoln’s top hat can be seen; it was the hat he was wearing at the theatre the night he was shot. The same chair Lincoln was sitting in at that moment is also on display. The museum also holds Dorothy’s ruby slippers from the famous Wizard of Oz. A larger display holds the dresses of all the First Ladies of the United States. These dresses were the ones that were worn on inauguration day.
From coast to coast, Americans need to go visit historical sites and national and state parks that show the beauty of nature. It is extremely beneficial to take in the scenery of mountains, forests, oceans, fields, and rivers. Stir one’s patriotism with trips to battle fields, museums, and memorials. Go and enjoy this land we call home!
