Lonely Planet review

Established in 1864, Gallaudet University is the world's only accredited liberal-arts school for the hearing-impaired. The college's first hearing-impaired president was appointed after student protests in 1989. Few sports fans know that, in 1894, Gallaudet football players invented the American football huddle to prevent their opponents from reading the sign language used to call plays. Tours of the campus are available by reservation.

There's no Metro station nearby, so you'll need to drive.
