Best History Museum in Waldorf

"One of America's most visited historic sites, Mount Vernon was the beloved home of George and Martha Washington, who lived here from the time of their marriage in 1759 until George's death in 1799. Regular guided tours of the furnished main house give a fascinating insight into the Washingtons' daily life, and self-guided tours of the outbuildings and gardens estate offer plenty of opportunities to interact with actors offering first-person narratives of working and living on the 18th-century plantation."

"After your time in Inner Harbor, take a short stroll into the town of Mount Vernon and grab a bite."

"This memorial building dedicated to George Washington is fashioned after the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt. The memorial is 333 feet tall and is located at the top of Shooter’s Hill. The building was dedicated in 1932 but the interior was not completely finished until the 70s."

"The George Washington Masonic National Memorial was built in the 1920s. The National Park Service named the memorial a National Historic Landmark in 2015."

"Between 1937 and 1959, famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed a series of small-scale houses that he called 'Usonian.' Modest in scale but rich in innovation and detail, these site-specific single-story dwellings were constructed using native materials, had flat roofs and clerestory windows, and made the most of natural light, air and the surrounding landscape. This example dates from 1940. Young guides (often architects) conduct guided tours and impart lots of information about the house and its architect."

"The Alexandria Black History Museum actually has a fascinating history itself as this used to be a library that was only available for African-Americans in Alexandria. The museum will take patrons on a tour of African American history in this part of the United States and you will find period documents and photographs as part of the collections here. There is a permanent exhibition here named the Securing the Blessings of Liberty exhibit that will tell you all you want to know about the end of slavery in the Alexandria community."

"The Alexandria Black History Museum is the perfect setting for patrons interested in an intimate, historic setting with ethnic flair. Originally the segregated library for Alexandria's African-American residents, the museum documents the local and national history, culture and contributions of Alexandria's African-Americans."

"Alexandria Black History Museum enriches the lives of Alexandria's residents and visitors, fosters tolerance and understanding among all cultures, and stimulates appreciation of the diversity of the African American experience. The Museum also manages the Watson Reading Room and the Alexandria African American Heritage Park."
