USER RATING
Experience historic events of fourscore and seven years ago as if they happened today. Begin in Gettysburg, where you’ll take a guided tour of the most important battlefield of the Civil War. Then, take in the solemnity and historical weight of Washington DC’s major war memorials and cemeteries. Explore democracy-in-action through visits to the Senate, House of Representatives, Supreme Court, and the White House. Colonial times come alive on an excursion to George Washington’s Mount Vernon abode, and time stands still on a walk through Ford’s Theatre. Tie all the historical strands together at the Smithsonian Museum, then celebrate your new knowledge on an optional Potomac River cruise.
