History-Inspired Things to Do in DC
Your guide to exploring DC through a historical lense at hotels, on tours and around Washington, DC.
Since George Washington selected this “District” for his democracy, it’s become an archive to our nation. This is the only city where you can see the United States’ founding documents, the flag that inspired an anthem and memorials to the iconic Americans who've shaped our history. And when you go beyond the National Mall, you’ll encounter more awe-inspiring stories, too, like one of the nation's oldest neighborhoods, U Street's past as "Black Broadway" and much more. Experience the past when you experience DC.
