National Mall
Stretching from the Capitol Building to the Lincoln Memorial, the National Mall is more than just a green expanse; it's a tapestry of American history. It sits as the backdrop for presidential inaugurations and civil rights protests. A stroll along the Reflecting Pool brings you face-to-face with monuments to Jefferson, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr.
