U.S. Capitol (国会大厦)—The U.S. Capitol is one of the citys most popular tourist destinations. Your visit begins at the visitor center; plan to arrive about 45 minutes before your tour to get through security (the building is open MondaySaturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ). While waiting, look around the center’s exhibition space, which features such historic treasures as the table used by Abraham Lincoln and the House gavel (小木槌) used during the roll call vote to declare war on Germany and Italy in 1941. In fact, even if you dont have tour tickets, the visitor center is worth a stop if you?re in the area.
President Lincoln?s Cottage — You shouldn?t miss this stop, the hilltop home where President Abraham Lincoln and his family lived during part of the Civil War.
Lincoln?s Cottage is simply furnished but features lighting effects and actors? recordings that reveal Lincoln?s thoughts on slavery and the war. “In the library you can actually see the ghost lines of where the library shelves would have been,” says cottage director Erin Carlson Mast. “We haven’t recreated the bookshelves because that was such an amazing moment of discovery for us that we wanted to preserve that so people can have that moment of discovery themselves. ”
Library of Congress — The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings: the Thomas Jefferson Building, James Madison Memorial Building and the John Adams Building. Although trying to see all of it in one day is possible, it?s probably best to do a little thinking ahead and figure out which areas you?d really like to explore(i. e, when your feet start to hurt, you won?t feel so bad about not catching everything). The most popular visitor destination is the Thomas Jefferson Building, but there are things worth seeing — murals (壁画), sculptures, performances — elsewhere in the complex.
