National Archives Museum

Awesome ud83dude0aud83dude0a

Phenomenal! Mind Blowing experience to see and be close to something that George Washington and B Franklin had their hands on and signed. Fantastic. Due to Covid no other place could be observed or used. But it was still fantastic

History of how we started and where we are now can be found here. We were treated to additional information from a few of the guards there. I never expected them to be as knowlegable about history as they are about their jobs. Blew my mind in a good way. Get there early and don't think you have alot of time, these guys are serious when your time is up.

As a naturalized citizen, world historian and American patriot born in India, I felt it an honor to go visit the National archives museum to see the foundation on which our government has been built upon. It is a shame that too many have forgotten the basic principles on which our founding fathers set out to build this great nation. We are the leaders of all of the free world, as long as we stuck to these principles. At the time it was written, it only applied to rich, white landowners, and rather than simply extending the same equality of freedoms to all of the oppressed, so many acts, laws, bills clogged up our government system causing it to run slow.nWhen there's too much junk in the system, it needs to cleaned and updated regularly but that only happens if people participate in the process, stay informed and do their due diligence rather than just being pawns in someone else's chess game.nnHere's some tips:nTake your family. Make a reservation. Bring paper, and take notes when you go visit.nPick up some gifts at the shop.nnOther places to see:nMuseum of the Bible (yes the Bible playeda role in shaping of the country)nGeorge Mason memorialnJames Madison museum (Charlottesville museum)nNational art gallerynMuseum of African American History & culturenMuseum of native American historynOther local museums, galleries and exhibits in D.c. and your local city, state attractions.nnCut the cord to your television and go out and learn. The world perceives Americans as bunch of ignorant, illiterate, insensitive brutes. Go out and PROVE THEM WRONG. We are the melting pot of the world. Everyone has something wonderful to bring.nnThis was taken on the day of MillionMAGAMarch.

Very interesting but not 100% open yet. Still enough there to make it worth the trip.
