Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Located on a three acre site close to the Lincoln Memorial, the centrepiece is the Memorial Wall made up of two black granite walls containing the names of over 58,000 veterans who gave their lives during the Vietnam War of 1965-1973.
The International Spy Museum
Located on F Street in the Penn Quarter this museum dedicated to the world of espionage offers over 600 artefacts and takes interactivity to a whole new level. A unique feature is its controlled entry, where visitors are given five minutes to memorise details of one of 16 spy profiles they are to assume (fictitious name, age, place of birth, destination, and so forth) as their "cover" before they are allowed to proceed into the exhibit area.
Ford’s Theatre
This historic theatre on 10th Street NW has been used for various stage performances beginning in the 1860s. However, it’s overwhelming claim to fame is as the site of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln on 14th April 1865. On display are multiple items related to the assassination, including the pistol used to carry out the shooting.
