Top 5 Hang-out recs:

1. Lincoln Park and East Capitol Street (0.5 miles)--Lincoln Park is a charming tree-lined park. Walk from there down East Capitol Street, where you can view beautiful historic row homes with a direct sight line to the Capitol.

4. National Mall (1.5 miles)--Walk from the Capitol Building along the full length of the National Mall to take in all the historic landmarks and over a dozen museums. The US Botanical Garden is one of my favorite: less than 2 miles from your Airbnb and just after you pass the Capitol Building.

Attractions
Along with the standard ones (Capitol, Library of Congress, National Mall etc.) there are several noteworthy attractions very close to Kingman Park that carry national reputations.

Congressional Cemetary (.8 miles): Established in 1807, the Federal government began funding it fifteen years later to serve as the burial place for members of Congress who died while in DC. Over the years the collection of notable permanent residents has grown to include Henry Clay, secessionist firebrand John Calhoun, John Phillips Sousa, J. Edgar Hoover, Matthew Brady, among many others. This is a dog’s paradise as the right to walk dogs off leash here is purchased by a select group of Washingtonians each year.

National Arboretum (1.7 miles): A spectacular spot during spring blossoms, this is a beautiful visit anytime if you want a quieter place to hike, picnic, or just get away. The original columns from the Capitol building were removed 1958 and eventually landed here in a graceful, roofless procession. Also notable is the bonsai tree collection, some hundreds of years old.
