Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

This Gothic-style cathedral is the sixth largest in the world and is put to all sorts of national purposes, such as President Wilsons funeral and a prayer vigil for American hostages during the Iranian crisis.
Strolling the grounds and seeing the Gothic architecture is wonderful. If you can, go during visiting hours, pay the admission and see the beautiful windows, altars and inscriptions. The 7th floor observation deck is a great addition to your time there.

I was in DC in February and had been to the Cathedral several times so I found this church next to the White House. It was a great place to visit with its cozy feel and Presidential history. Every President since it opened had attended a service here. I really enjoyed this visit and believe it is a wonderful parish.

The Church of the Epiphany, established in 1842, is an historic Episcopal church in downtown Washington, DC, located one block from the White House. We are a very diverse Episcopal congregation that is passionate about ministry with downtown poor and downtown workers. At the core of our faith community are hospitality and compassion, worship and music, discernment and social justice. All of our programming is free. Our doors are open from 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, for prayer, rest, and to walk our indoor labyrinth.
