Cultural Tourism DC asked some notable Washingtonians to share with us their favorite places or events that are special and unique to DC.

  1. Women's History Month at Sewall-Belmont House & Museum - the home of the iconic Alice Paul and the historic National Woman's Party- the museum houses the largest intact collection of suffrage and equal rights items and the March schedule for public programs is intense!
  2. The summer "Concerts on the Avenue" at the US Navy Memorial - an amazing concert series featuring the very talented US Navy Band. I try to get there early enough to snag an outdoor table at 701 Restaurant and enjoy an al fresco dinner with friends.
  3. Mary McLeod Bethune Council House - the first headquarters of the National Council of Negro Women and Bethune's home, this is a great place to lose yourself in history for an afternoon anytime of the year.
  4. U.S. Botanic Garden Railway exhibit - Always a festive way to kick off the holiday season and I never get tired of the model trains!
  5. National Archives Experience – Everyone at our organization goes there a lot. The programming is really engaging and there is always something good going on.
