    Tony the unflappable pony!

    I am so glad I went on this wonderful carriage ride. I love history and our guide was an expert on the history of Fredericksburg and environs. Well educated on all of Fredericksburg history (and architecture) she was a wealth of information and could answer every question posed! Tony the Pony was the best. Through the (sometimes noisy) streets of historical Fredericksburg nothing phased him. Garbage trucks, semis and tow trucks - he was unflappable. It was nice to take things slow and be able to comfortably have time to take in all the history around you.

    The ride itself was quite fun, and learning about the history was fun too. It was $18 for 45 min which ain't bad at all.

    Not to be missed. I highly recommend booking a tour that includes timed tickets to the US Capitol…read more I used DC by Foot. Reason for using a tour guide is It's extremely crowded at the Visitors Center, and constant crowds of students on field trips to learn about our branches of government. The DC by Foot guides are very knowledgeable, they know where to go in the Capitol. The guide I had got House Gallery passes for our group and the commemorative 250 yr (US Semi quincentennial) admission tickets. I learned you can tell if the House or Senate is in session by looking to see if the flag is raised or not on the House or Senate side. The other part of the tour is watching a presentation then going with the US Capitol guides in red jackets and using audio to view the art and history. I also liked the souvenir shop there too so I got commemorative 250 items.

    Definitely ask your elected official to get a tour! Such amazing history. Schedule a morning tour,…read moreand then go to the restaurant when it opens about 11 AM. Surprisingly, this restaurant actually was good, and the desserts were excellent. It was better than trying to find someplace to eat. They also had one of the best gift shops I had seen all week. The tour guide was extremely helpful with tips of other places to go, pointing out that we had direct access to the Library of Congress. This is definitely a must see. I had no idea you could walk to it from the capital, and then it actually was an active library.

I unintentionally stopped in on a day when they were offering free tickets. I don't think they ever open every room in the building for exhibition at the same time, so the amount of stuff on display is less than you'd think looking at it from the outside. However, my visit did yield some intriguing finds including a hall on contemporary southern architecture that hits much harder if you've actually been to the places (which by and large I now have), and a historical exhibition on schoolhouses for black people in the South, which provided an interesting window into history. I wouldn't count the Building Museum among the top tier of attractions, but it's a good landmark and worth visiting.

    The building is so beautiful that it was clearly not designed for this recent use case but had some…read moreother function - and indeed it was a post-Civil War pension office grander than any bureaucratic office building these days. The artistry isn't necessarily the best for a museum, but it works pretty well. The best part of the museum was the tour which is free because you aren't going into the exhibits but learn about the architect, his choices, and the history of the building from its inception to inaugural balls to now. Our tour guide was Gene who was incredibly knowledgeable and able to answer everyone's questions. On the tour you're also guided up to the upper floors that you would not typically have access to. The exhibits require a ticket but it's still pretty cheap and even though it's federally owned, it still requires funding, so it's worth the ticket. The exhibits range on topics from the types and reasons for different shelters including videos, dioramas, and artifacts. They are visually appealing and informative. There is also an exhibit on buildings made out of Legos which is fun for all ages. There are a large gift shop and a small cafe for quick bites. If you've hit all the big iconic DC museums, this museum is a great one to hit to fill out your learning experiences.
