Founded in 1790, it’s home to the U.S. federal government, including the White House, the Capitol Building, and the Supreme Court. The city is filled with museums—many part of the Smithsonian Institution—covering science, history, art, and culture. 

Students can also see famous monuments like the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Washington, D.C. is not a state; instead, it’s a special federal district created to serve as the nation’s capital. It’s a place where history, politics, and culture come together in one exciting city.
