By far my favorite American History Museum!! What an amazing outlook on how our country progressed! The museum carried some of President George Washington’s tools that he used during the war! Full review by FayeM550
I am going to visit the National Mall the second week of July (Mon-Fri). I'm wondering what the lines are for entry are going to be like on weekdays.
