Join a small group of fewer than 20 people for a guided walking tour of Capitol Hill, home to two branches of the U.S. Government and several important institutions. Meet your guide at the Neptune Fountain in front of the Thomas Jefferson Library of Congress Building. Start by visiting the U.S. Supreme Court (from the outside). Learn about its history, how it operates today, and some of the major cases it has decided. Next, head into the Library of Congress. Your guide will walk you through the Thomas Jefferson Building, sharing how the library was founded, its connection to Thomas Jefferson, and how people use it to conduct research today. Finally, explore the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and learn about its role in the U.S. government. With your guide and reserved entry passes, head inside for a docent-led tour of the Capitol’s key areas, including the rotunda, crypt, old House chambers, and Statuary Hall.
