Not Bored in DC

THING TO DO

Visit the Smithsonian's first community museum

at Anacostia Community Museum

Founded in 1967, this was the Smithsonian's first federally funded community museum, built around the history and daily life of Anacostia and Black Washington. It's small enough to see in an hour or two, and sits well off the Mall in Fort Stanton with free onsite parking.
