Washington DC Colonial Sites
Golfing, Must-Do Experience, Tip - General Travel, Monument - Historical
The Battle of Gettysburg, the architecture of Thomas Jefferson, General Washington’s mausoleum; it would be a shame to visit DC and miss out on all the surrounding area has to offer. Consider portioning some of your time in this historical city to its gorgeous countryside and impressive areas of interest.
A short day trip away from DC is a beautiful expanse of Pennsylvanian land known as Gettysburg. Aside from pointing-out where how the battle developed and where Lincoln gave his famous speech, your tour guide can offer you an encyclopedic knowledge of the notorious battlefield and the notable aspects of its surrounding landscape, including information on the home of George Washington Shriver and the bloody site where Confederate sharpshooters were killed.
Mt. Vernon, home of America’s first president and general of the Continental Army, is located in picturesque Virginia. The 500-acre former plantation is a wealth of information about the life and times of George Washington and the early shaping of the nation. Along the way, you’ll stop is the seaport town of Old Alexandria where there’s good shopping to be had, visit Fort Washington, and see the famous Pentagon.
Another beautiful day trip from DC is a visit to the mountainside plantation of inventor, architect, musician, artist, and one-time President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson in Monticello. Along this tour, you will explore famous homes, battlefields, and architectural masterpieces of the Civil War era. Snuggled in the Virginian mountains, this beautiful wealth of history and information about one of America’s greatest heroes has been described by Budget Traveler as ‘one of eight destinations any American should visit.’ Don’t miss it!
