The National Archives in Washington DC

May 9, 2012 – 10:10 pm

The National Archives Building is located north of the National Mall on Constitution Avenue in Washington DC at 700 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.  The site is accessible by the Archives/Navy Memorial metro station (yellow and green lines) which is across Pennsylvania Avenue from the Archives building.

It holds the original copies of the three main documents of the United States: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. These copies are located in what we call the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom and there is no lines to see the individual documents (visitors are allowed to walk from document to document as they wish). It also hosts a copy of the 1297 Magna Carta.  Those amazing documents are displayed to the public in the main chamber of the building.

Also the archives exhibit other important American historical documents such as the Louisiana Purchase and the Emancipation Proclamation, as well as collections of photography and other historically and culturally significant American artifacts.

Tip for visitors: all filming, photographing, and videotaping by the public in the exhibition areas are prohibited since February 25, 2010.

If you are visiting the Washington DC, and if you are looking for Washington DC inns, you may want to check our DC B&B!

Washington DC Activities

Capital Segway Tours

September 23, 2011 – 10:14 pm

Instead of being stuck on a tour bus already full, you may consider the Segway where you will have your personal space and enjoyed the freedom to be outdoor.  The Segway tour is ideal for families with older children, adults looking for a fun alternative to walking.

Tours leave from 1350 I St. NW and it will cost you between $65 to $80.

The Capital Segway tour starts and ends with 10 minute training for riding around on the Segway, which is fun and easy to operate. During your tour, you will pass by Lafayette Park to the White House, down the Mall to the Capitol and past the National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, U.S. Botanic Garden, FBI, National Archives, National World War II Memorial and Washington Monument.

By the end of the tour, you will have seen the biggest sights on the Mall in a quarter of the time it would take to walk.

Other thing interesting:  Segway Tours also proposes French, Spanish and German tours!

The National Archives in Washington DC

May 9, 2011 – 10:04 pm

The National Archives Experience contains the original Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. These important historical documents are housed in the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom, the Public Vaults permanent exhibit gallery, the Lawrence F. O’Brien temporary exhibit gallery,  the Boeing Learning Center, and the William G. McGowan Theater. Spring through late summer is peak tourism season in DC, and masses flock to see the Charters of Freedom while they are visiting the Nation’s Capital.

The National Archives are open seven days a week except Thanksgiving and December 25th. The archives are open from 10am to 7pm daily during  Spring and Summer. Reserved passes are not required for free admission, but it may be a good idea to reserve passes if you are visiting during Washington, DC’s peak season. Guided tours are also available.

The National Archives are accessible by the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro station serviced by the red line. The Archives are less than a 10 minute walk from the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro station and about 25 minutes walking distance from our DC Inn.
