Uncovering the Hidden and Lost
Exploring Historic Neighborhoods using Primary Sources
Saturday, April 6, 2019
As the cornerstone was being laid in 1793, the U.S. Capitol became the epicenter of the new federal city’s design. Streets, businesses and houses began to radiate out from Capitol Hill, and the landscape began to change. In today’s bustling, modern D.C., it can be difficult to find glimpses of original Capitol Hill features.

MYTHS FROM HISTORY CLASS AND LEGENDARY TALES
Saturday, October 20, 2018
Legends, folklore and myths have often been infused into our historical narratives and understanding of important American events, and sometimes become indiscernible from the actual history. In this workshop, teachers explored historic American myths – from across the nation, the Washington, D.C., region, and inside the U.S. Capitol building.
