Washington D.C. Historic Sites & Memorial(2 Days)

Tour all of the Historic African American Sites – Washington, DC

First, you will be guided through Lincoln’s Cottage, which includes five rooms of the Gothic revival-style building. The cottage itself is sparsely furnished, but the information provided by docents about Lincoln’s ideas, presidency, and private life makes it easy to imagine the iconic leader in these surroundings. Historical prints, photographs, and artifacts help to fill in the blanks.

Next, you will travel to the African American Civil War Museum and Memorial that uses a rich collection of artifacts, documents, primary sources, and technology to create a meaningful learning experience about the period from the American Civil War to Civil Rights and beyond. Then, you will pass by the Martin Luther King’s Memorial that honors his legacy and the struggle for freedom, equality, and justice. You will also have time at Lincoln Park, the largest Capitol Hill Park and features monuments to two of the nation’s greatest leaders, President Abraham Lincoln and Civil Rights Activist and Educator Mary McLeod Bethune.  Lastly, you will tour the legacy of Frederick Douglas that is preserved at Cedar Hill before heading home.
