The National Museum of American History is a Smithsonian museum in Washington DC, and explores - well - American history!
With such a rich and fascinating history, you already know there is a LOT to explore and discover at this popular attraction in the nation's capital.
Fancy exploring how transportation has shaped America's history from 1876 to 1999? Yep - the nation moved from a mostly rural nation to a major economic power, and you can see some of the very vehicles that helped make that happen, from a 1942 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, an 1876 steam-powered locomotive, and the first car drive across the USA in 1903!
The museum features an exhibit of sound innovation, and how that contributed to the music and movies of today, with some of the ACTUAL innovations on display, including Alexander Graham Bell's graphophone, and Thomas Edison's phonograph!
The American Presidency exhibit explores the actions of those 44 men who have had a huge impact on the course of history over 200 years, as well as an exhibit that highlights the First Lady, with over two dozen gowns actually worn by these amazing women, from Laura Bush to Jacqueline Kennedy!
You can explore an 18th century gunboat, as well as learn all about Maritime America from those who were out on the water!
Judy Garland's Ruby Slippers are even on display in the section of the museum that explores culture, entertainment and the arts within American history.
A fascinating day out in Washington DC where you might just be leaving singing the Star Spangled Banner for some time after your visit!
