buildings, and other tourist attractions along the
National Mall
and the cherry tree lined Tidal Basin with its

Washington D.C. sits at the center of the region which
is traversed by the Potomac River. Many of the Capital
area’s most famous
attractions are found in Northern Virginia, which is
located just across the Potomac to the west of the
District. These attractions span the time from the
colonial period to the emergence of America as the
preeminent national power in the twentieth century.
Surrounding Washington DC, to the north, east and south
are the Maryland suburbs offering a multitude of
attractions (as well as nearby
Baltimore
and Annapolis). Today, the Washington, DC area is
a high technology center spawned by military, medical
and other governmental research. This growth has
transformed a rolling tree covered rural farming area
into a region that is home to over six million people
who live and work in the metro area which maintains its
links to its historic past. Come inside to find
