What did life look like for Washington’s 19th-century residents?
Much like today, D.C. residents studied at universities, worked for government agencies, and enjoyed concerts, museums and national ceremonies unique to the capital city. Historical newspaper illustrations and other artifacts in this exhibition capture daily scenes of labor and leisure.
