    Washington, D.C. ★ ★ ★ Visitor’s Guide Planning Your Visit Planning Your Visit Dear Friend, On behalf of the American Academy of Actuaries, I extend a warm welcome to you to our nation’s capital. Washington, D.C., is a city designed to encourage visitors to stroll, wander, and enjoy the city’s many sights and sounds. This brochure is intended to help you spend whatever free time you may have to enjoy the city during your stay. Thec ity is of course best known as the seat of the U.S. national government. Indeed, in 1791 Major Pierre L’Enfant specifically laid out for President Washington an urban design supporting the vision of a federal district. From its beginning, the District of Columbia has been defined with a special nature and stature that is reflected in accessible monuments, federal buildings, and fascinating national and private museums—highlights of many are noted in the following pages. But it offers even more, including delightful natural beauty and scenes and the cosmopolitan delights that serve the millions of people who live in the region. Whether you’re looking to learn more about the intriguing backstories of this city’s and our nation’s history, or to simply enjoy the taste of our varied award-winning culinary scene, this guide will provide you with good places to start your wanderings. The highlights were compiled from suggestions of the Academy staff, who know the city well. I hope this brochure helps you to enjoy and appreciate the city during your visit.
