Washington, D.C., our beautiful capital city, often serves a symbol of our nation. It’s home to the White House, which has been the official residence of every U.S. president since John Adams and remains one of the most prominent landmarks in the country. Whether you’re a tourist or a native, chances are you’re familiar with the politically significant structure. But D.C. has a number of other, lesser-know but equally-stunning sights that may spark your interest. If you’re in the area, I recommend visiting the following places for a dose of cultural history (and a few Instagram-worthy photos).
