Observe the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, celebrating a key author of the Declaration of Independence. Head over to a memorial commemorating George Mason, one of the United States' founding fathers.

Stand in awe at the 7.50-acre (3-ha) Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, honoring the 32nd president who is credited with bringing the country out of the Great Depression. Explore the 4-acre (1.6-ha) memorial honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., and reflect on his life as you gaze at a centerpiece memorializing his famous line from “I Have A Dream” speech: “Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”

As you travel through the city, enjoy nighttime views of the Washington Monument, U.S. Air Force, and District War Memorials.
