  • 2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider
    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider There are so many things to do when visiting D.C., many for free, and here are a few you may have not done before. They may make it worthwhile to come to D.C. early or to stay to the end of the weekend. Getting to the Sites: • D.C. Sites and the Pentagon: Metro is a way around town. The hotel is four minutes from the Metro’s Mt. Vernon Square/7th St.-Convention Center Station. Using Metro or walking, or a combination of the two (or a taxi cab) most D.C. sites and the Pentagon are within 30 minutes or less from the hotel.1 Googlemaps can help you find the relevant Metro line to use. Circulator buses, running every 10 minutes, are an inexpensive way to travel to and around popular destinations. Routes include: the Georgetown-Union Station route (with a stop at 9th and New York Avenue, NW, a block from the hotel); and the National Mall route starting at nearby Union Station. • The Mall in particular. Many sites are on or near the Mall, a five-minute cab ride or 17-minute walk from the hotel going straight down 9th Street. See map of Mall. However, the Mall is huge: the Mall museums discussed start at 3d Street and end at 14th Street, and from 3d Street to 14th Street is an 18-minute walk; and the monuments on the Mall are located beyond 14th Street, ending at the Lincoln Memorial at 23d Street.

    Explore historic dc Explore historic CHILDREN’S WALKING TOUR CHILDREN’S EDITION included PENN QUARTER inside! NEIGHBORHOOD WASHINGTON, DC © Washington Architectural Foundation, 2018 Welcome to the P Welcome to Welcome This tour of Washington’s Penn Quarter Neighborhood focuses on the history and architecture of part of our local environment that is both familiar and surprising. The tour kit includes everything a parent, teacher, Scout troop leader or home schooler would need to walk children through several blocks of buildings and their history to stimulate conversation and activities as they go. Designed for kids in the 8-12 age group, the tour is fun and educational for older kids and adults as well. The tour materials include... • History of the Penn Quarter Neighborhood • Tour Booklet Instructions • The Penn Quarter Neighborhood Guide • Architectural Vocabulary • Conversation Starters • The Penn Quarter Neighborhood Tour Stops • Children's Edition This project has been funded in part by a grant from the Dorothea DeSchweinitz Fund for the District of Columbia of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and in part by a grant from HumanitiesDC, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. This version of the Penn Quarter Neighborhood children’s architectural tour is the result of a collaboration among Mary Kay Lanzillotta, FAIA, Peter Guttmacher and the creative minds at LookThink, with photos courtesy of Mary Kay Lanzillotta, FAIA, and Scott Clowney, Assoc: AIA. We encourage you to tell us about your experience using this children's architecture tour, what worked really well and how we can make it even better, as well as other neighborhoods you'd like to visit.
