( HomeWashington → American )

The National Museum of American History is part of the Smithsonian Institution and was originally opened in 1964.  It contains numerous artefacts that record the heritage and history of the United States.  One of the foremost articles in the museum is the original Star Spangled Banner.  The museum was renovated between 2006 and 2008, and needless to say is a very popular attraction.
