• Capitol Hill - Begin your journey on Capitol Hill! Stroll between The Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and the United States Capitol.
• Supreme Court - Located opposite the Capitol, the Supreme Court’s marble façade and iconic columns have been upholding American justice since 1935. This is where pivotal decisions — from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade — have shaped the nation. Look up at the inscription above the entrance: ‘Equal Justice Under Law.’ Few phrases hold more significance in American history.
• U.S. Capitol - Few structures on earth bear the significance of this one. The Capitol has been home to Congress since 1800, and within the Rotunda, visitors stand beneath one of the most stunning interiors in the world. Nearly 180 feet above, Constantino Brumidi’s Apotheosis of Washington — a nearly 5,000 square foot fresco painted in 1865 — watches over all who enter. Eight monumental paintings adorn the walls, each depicting a defining moment in America’s founding story. Designed to inspire awe, the Capitol Rotunda has been doing just that for over two centuries.
• U.S. Capitol Visitor Center - Beneath the Capitol’s east plaza lies one of Washington’s best-kept secrets — a 580,000 square foot underground visitor center that welcomes over 3 million guests annually. This is your gateway to the heart of American democracy, featuring exhibition halls, historic artifacts, and the original plaster cast of the Freedom statue that crowns the Capitol dome. Before entering, take a moment to look up — that dome took over 10 years to complete and was finished during the Civil War, a deliberate symbol that the Union would endure.
• Library of Congress - Just steps from the Capitol is the largest library in the world, and arguably its most beautiful building. The Library of Congress holds over 170 million items — from Thomas Jefferson’s personal book collection to the first map to use the name ‘America.’ Visitors who step inside the Great Hall are often halted by the breathtaking Beaux-Arts interior, a stunning mosaic of marble, murals, and gilded detail that rivals any museum in the world. More than a library, this is the nation’s memory — and every American has a membership.
