Location

The free summer shuttle to transport visitors between the National Mall and the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum returns for a third year in time for the Memorial Day holiday. It will offer weekend service May 28 through Sept. 6 (Labor Day Monday).

Shuttle Anacostia picks up riders on Saturdays and Sundays and holiday Mondays (May 30, July 4 and Sept 6) at designated spots at the Ripley Center, the National Air and Space Museum and the Anacostia Metro station beginning at 9:30 a.m. After leaving the Anacostia Community Museum, riders can also visit the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, which is included as a stop as the shuttle loops back to the Castle. Besides an earlier start date and time, service has been extended to include a later last pick up from the museum at 4:35 p.m. back to the Mall.
