Overview of your Capitol hill tour:

You can hardly say you've been to DC without a trip to the Mall and this tour will cover all of the main monuments and memorial sites like the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. However we will also visit some of the more obscure outlying memorials and understand the stories behind the history and locations of the memorials and the creation of the Mall itself. Going right back to L'Enfant's original plan for the city we will talk about the initial layout of the monuments and why they didn't quite end up where they were intended. We'll also hear the incredible story of the planning and building of the Lincoln Memorial and how FDR ended up with two memorials despite not wanting any.
