History and Culture
The Washington area has the largest selection of free museums and art galleries
of any city in the United States. Many summer musical events on the Capitol
grounds also are free. Washington and Northern Virginia also boast of a wide
array of professional, experimental and community theaters. History buffs can
enjoy visits to George Washington's home and to many other sites that make our
nation's past come alive.
