The Mall and Tidal Basin n
Washington D.C.
One of the first National Parks, the mall was laid
out in the master plan of the District of Columbia
to connect the major governmental structures with each
other in a park-like setting. Please be advised that
due to the September 11th events, some government buildings
may not be open or may require picture IDs, reservations
and other screening for admission.
