Many of the most famous attractions in Washington, D.C. can be found in the middle of the district's diverse neighborhoods. Nestled next to the U.S. Capitol grounds, Capitol Hill is a 19th Century neighborhood replete with unique museums, the historic Eastern Market and the restored Union Station. Dupont Circle is known for its magnificent white marble Dupont Memorial Fountain and annual Walk Weekend, where the 10 Dupont Kalorama Museum Consortium museums offer free admission and special activities for all ages. Fort Stevens Battleground National Military Cemetery and the National Museum of Health and Medicine can be found along busy Georgia Avenue.
Of course, like the hub of wheel, all roads in Washington, D.C. seem to lead to the Washington Monument. This towering monolith symbolically guards the heart of the free world and the millions of people who live, work or visit our nation's capital.
