Map 5

A microcosm of America itself, here you’ll find life snippets ranging from urban decay to disturbin’ decadence, with a splash of semi-suburban simplicity a stone’s skip away from Anacostia. Congressional Cemetery is a lesser-known jewel in a city crowned with famous landmarks, where you can visit the final resting places of many forgotten congressmen from previous centuries and enjoy views of the river.
