From the selection by George Washington of the location for the city to the present, DC, one of three planned capital cities in the world, has grown and changed in infinite ways. Get a local's take on the history of the city and the people who built it, including the origins of the Smithsonian Institution and the evolution of the National Mall. On field trips through the city you will visit some of the major monuments and memorials, the Library of Congress and Eastern Market, and have a chance to see some of the current changes taking places throughout the city.
