Local gems in Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. rewards those who look beyond the obvious. Tucked between the city's well-known corridors are places like the Basilica of St. Mary, the quiet Church of the Epiphany, and the Cherrydale Masonic Hall — each with its own story to tell. The monument to Brigadier General Count Casimir Pulaski, the understated DC War Memorial, and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial offer moments of reflection away from the crowds. The Chain Bridge traces a lesser-traveled route across the Potomac, while Dupont Circle pulses with neighborhood life. The CIA Memorial Wall and CIA Museum add a genuinely unexpected dimension to Capitol Hill's surroundings.
