White House

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

The very first building begun in the new Federal City was the White House. In 1792 George Washington laid the cornerstone. By 1800 the White became home to all US Presidents forever more. You'll be accompanied by your Guide through what was once the front yard of the White House (now Lafayette Square) and watch the political drama unfold - everyday it's different - as your group learns the history of the most historic block in town.

Although it was 50+ years in the making (your Guide will explain that gap) the World War II Memorial is spectacular day or night. But in the dark the waters of the center fountain seem even more joyful - the symbol of the spirit of American GI's as they returned home from the evil's of war to restart their lives in peace and prosperity. The fountain is surrounded by columns saluting the states and territories which sent men and material to the war effort ... including a Wall of Stars in honor of those soldiers who did not return home.

Jefferson Memorial

Mlk Jr Memorial

After writing the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Jefferson was sent by the newly formed nation in 1785 to France, our greatest ally, to represent us there. From France Jefferson widened his travels and discovered both Greek and Roman architecture. Bringing visions of columns and domes back to America Jefferson rebuilt his own home at Monticello with a classic domed roof and along the way introduced domes and columns to America.

When FDR built the Jefferson Memorial on the Tidal Basin, he made sure it was domed with columns and that it aligned perfectly with the White House where Jefferson worked for 8 years! The night view of the White House from the Jefferson Memorial is spectacular.

Korean Memorial

Lincoln Memorial

The Korean War Memorial is presently under construction, The Platoon can be visited as well as the reflecting wall next to it where those same statues can be seen as a ghostly mirror image. Your Guide will reveal the vision behind this imagery. When the renovation is complete the Korean War Memorial will contain the names of every American and South Korean soldier killed or missing in that war.

The Korean War Memorial is positioned so close to the Potomac River that mists blow in most nights, shrouding this platoon of seven-foot tall soldiers in an erie halo.

The unforgettable Korean War Memorial is evocative, featuring a larger-than-life-size platoon of US GI's on patrol in Korea in the early 1950's, It is loaded with deep questions about the price of ultimate sacrifice....Is Freedom free ....hovers in the air. Your Guide will point out elements here that most visitors entirely miss... When the renovation is complete later in 2022 the Korean War Memorial will contain the names of all US and Korean soldiers killed or missing in action.
