Welcome to Washington DC,

Our Nation's Capital!

Officially founded on July 16, 1790, Washington, DC is unique among American cities because it was established by the Constitution of the United States to serve as the nation’s capital. From the beginning it has been embroiled in political maneuvering, sectional conflicts, issues of race, national identity, compromise and, of course, power.

Washington, DC is all about “FREE”dom. Many of the city’s attractions and experiences are free, including monuments, memorials and entrance to many museums. Museums and galleries frequently offer free tours and curators’ talks. There are also many free music and street festivals that take place throughout the year.
