Capitol Building: The Capitol has hosted both Senate and the House of Representatives for more than two hundred years. Begun in 1793, the Capitol has endured fire, rebuilding and expansion. The capitol stands as a symbol to the triumph of democracy and freedom.

Jefferson Memorial: This memorial stands in honor of our nation’s 3rd president, an accomplished statesman, patriot and educator. The neoclassical design reflects Jefferson’s love of design and classic architecture. The memorial’s beauty makes it a frequent site for festivities.
