Standing at one of the city's highest points, this soaring Gothic cathedral extends almost the length of two football fields and pierces the city's skyline.
The church's grandeur is evidenced in its stunning features: soaring vaulting, sparkling stained glass windows, and intricate carvings. The Space Window contains a piece of lunar rock presented to the cathedral by the astronauts of Apollo XI. Fanciful gargoyles and dramatic sculpture adorn the exterior.
Although a Christian church, the Cathedral welcomes persons of all faiths and is frequently the site of interfaith and ecumenical services. Services of celebration for the swearing in of a president, thanksgiving for the release of hostages, and mourning for the death of a leader are examples of the Cathedral's "national purpose."
The Cathedral offers programs on spirituality, occasional special exhibits, specialty tours, lectures, monthly labyrinth, organ demonstrations, and musical events. Highlights tours are offered daily. Groups must have reservations.
The Bishop's Garden, on the Cathedral grounds, is a medieval-styled walled garden with ancient boxwoods, herbs, and a rose garden

Circa 1800, Dumbarton House is a premiere example of Federal period architecture that features 18th- and 19th-century furniture and decorative arts (paintings, textiles, silver, and ceramics) made and used during the Republic's formative years. The Federal government and its many civil servants moved to Washington in 1800, and it was the family of Joseph Nourse, America's First Civil Servant (as the first Register of the U.S. Treasury), that lived in the home 1804-1814. The next resident, Charles Carroll, harbored the "President's Lady," Dolley Madison, in August 1814 fleeing from the burning White House and invading British troops. Since 1932, Dumbarton House has been the headquarters of The National Society of Colonial Dames of America, a patriotic non-profit organization founded in 1891 to collect and preserve objects of significant historical interest and to educate citizens about them.
Dumbarton House is accredited by the American Association of Museums, and hosts a regular schedule of programs including special exhibitions and tours, free concerts, lectures, tastings, school and scout programs, cotillion classes, and summer camps. Public tours are Tuesdays through Saturdays, with 45-minute tours hourly 10am-1pm.
Admission: Adults/Seniors $5.00; children, youth, and students-with-ID are always free.

Explore the technology and science behind fighting and solving crimes, discover the heroes of law enforcement, and venture into the dark side of the criminal mind through this intensely interactive experience. The National Museum of Crime & Punishment, located in downtown Washington, D.C., includes a crime scene lab, the filming studios for America's Most Wanted with host John Walsh, and a retail store called "The Cop Shop." Described by Good Morning America as a "must see for CSI fans," the new museum also includes high-speed police-chase simulators, a simulated FBI shooting range, John Dillinger's car, and hundreds of interactives and artifacts.
Once visitors pass through a medieval dungeon portal, the history of crime and punishment in America unfolds beginning with colonial times. The cast of disreputable characters includes pirates, Wild West outlaws, gangsters, the Mob, and white collar criminals in pursuit of identity theft. An alley crime scene leads straight into a police station where visitors are booked and fingerprinted. The punishment gallery includes celebrity mug shots, a lie detector test, police line-up, and a re-creation of Al Capone's jail cell.
The crime fighting gallery celebrates the courage of all members of law enforcement. An entire level of the museum is devoted to the CSI experience, where visitors come across the scene of a violent crime and utilize forensic science techniques to solve the case, from blood analysis to ballistics.
