(172,716 posts)and working for the feds for over 30 years, I was always back and forth on I-95 down there.
And there is so much but if you haven't stopped by there, you could go to the MLK Memorial, which overlooks the Tidal Basin if you haven't been by there (I think it opened in 2011 - unveiling initially delayed due to Hurricane Irene).
When we were there just this past November 2018, we got on one of those double-decker bus tours and one of the stops along the way that people could hop off to go look at, was Ford's Theater (associated with a national historic park at the site and in the immediate area) - and I think history buffs would know the significance of that being where Lincoln was assassinated. Apparently there is a museum in the basement below the actual (operational) theater (we didn't hop off to go but I did see a mention on the bus brochure).
