| Publisher Description: Washington DC was founded in 1791 to become our nation's capital. From the very beginning, it was a city that was steeped in history and created out of a need to establish a central location for the running of the government. Alternating between site visits and brief historical narratives, this guide tells the story of Washington, DC, from its origins to current times. From George Washington's Mount Vernon to the Kennedy Center, trek through each era of the federal district, on a tour of America's most beloved sites. Go inside the White House, the only executive home in the world regularly open to the public. Travel to President Lincoln's Cottage and see where he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. And visit lesser-known sites, such as the grave of Pierre L'Enfant, the city's Botanical Gardens, the Old Post Office, and a host of historical homes throughout the capital. |
