Description
Washington, DC is famous worldwide for its powerful government, grand monuments, and world - class museums. But 'Secret Washington, DC' reveals that the city's essence isn't just about politics and tourism. It's deeply rooted in a rich history filled with mysterious relics, underground societies, abandoned buildings, and controversial scandals. This book uncovers dark truths, like the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln and Garfield and Francis Scott Key’s son, and crimes at the US Capitol. At the same time, it showcases the capital's creativity through unique art installations such as Foamhenge and Barbie Pond on Avenue Q, and oddly - designed homes like the Mushroom House and the Vanadu Art House. Written by local author and educator JoAnn Hill, it offers a look at the hidden side of Washington, DC. The book measures 6 x 9, has a softcover binding, and contains 208 pages.
