点评:Our US History Tour took us to the Capitol Building Visitors Center. We first had our lunch at the cafeteria, then we were shown around and given information by our own licensed tour guide before going on to the Capitol Building. In the Visitors Center we toured the Exhibition Hall, which was interesting and informative. We saw models of the capitol building, and history of its construction and additions over time. We saw the Emancipation Hall, which features statues from states, representing the diversity and contributions of the different states, and the enormous Statue of Freedom. Our guide showed us a skylight where we were able to take a picture of the Capitol dome and flag. There were gift shops, restrooms and information desk. This was a good introduction before going into the Capitol itself.
