Our Castle to Capitol walking tour is a lesson in architectural styles: Gothic, Victorian, Romanesque, Brutalist, Neoclassical and Modern can all be found among the many Smithsonian Museums on the National Mall.

Join the tour this Friday at 10am to learn your turrets from your towers, barrel vaults vs groin vaults, and cantilevers vs colonnades!

Sometimes referred to as DC's highway to heaven, the 6.5 miles of 16th Street has over 45 religious institutions. That's about 7 churches per mile!

While the first church on 16th, St. Johns Episcopal near the White House, was built in 1816, the 1920s saw a huge church building boom. All three churches at the corner of 16th and Columbia were built between 1921 and 1933. National Baptist Memorial Church (pictured) broke ground in 1921 with President Harding in attendance.

Have you heard the buzz about the new building slated for the National Mall? Our Castle to Capitol tour group got a sneak peak!

In 2021, Amazon founder and (sometimes) DC resident Jeff Bezos donated $200 million dollars to help fund a a monumental renovation of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, the largest financial gift ever received by the Smithsonian since it's founding in 1846. $130 million of the donation will go toward a new Learning Center, which is currently in the design phase.

The five shortlisted anonymous design proposals for the new Bezos Learning Center are currently on display inside the Smithsonian Castle, and a winner will be announced in the next few months. The building is meant to be completed in 2026, in time for the 50th anniversary of the Air & Space Museum.

Join our Castle to Capitol walking tour to learn more, and check out the design submissions at @airandspacemuseum!
