Lonely Planet review for Historical Society of Washington, DC

Sadly, the City Museum of Washington DC has closed its doors, but the District’s Historical Society still occupies the museum’s old digs in the Carnegie Library at Mt Vernon Sq. If you have any interest in DC as a living, breathing city of neighborhoods, immigrants and working lives outside of the Federal scene, come here – the extensive library of books, photographs, maps and other archives is a treasure. Staff are a trove of knowledge and opinions on the current state of DC.
