6. The White House
The White House is an important
symbol of leadership and
freedom. The site was chosen in
1791 by George Washington. A
man named James Hoban won the contest to design the
structure. After being burnt down during the War of
1812, it was rebuilt by Hoban. It was later renovated by
many presidents such as Andrew Jackson, Harry S.
Truman, and Theodore Roosevelt. The White House
has been occupied by every president since John
Adams and has been visited by numerous officials.
Nicknamed ‘the People’s House’, it is meant to be open
to everyone.

7. The International Spy Museum
Opened on July 19, 2002, this is the only public museum
in the country solely devoted to espionage. It is also the only
one in the world to demonstrate the profession’s
international impacts previously and how it still effects us
today. The museum contains artifacts, strategies, and
techniques used that have never been revealed to the
public. It offers tours informing of espionage throughout
Washington D.C. and different simulations of being a spy.

8. United States Holocaust
Museum
This museum is a tribute to the 6
million Jews and millions of others
who died because of the Holocaust.
Each year, 2 million people come to
see the memorial and to remember
the past. The idea for the museum first came about in 1978.
The federal government donated 1.9 acres for the museum
and the costs of $200 million was
provided by private donations. The
construction lasted from July,1989-
April,1993. The building was designed
by James Ingo Freed. The museum
demonstrates the horrific punishments
many Jews had to suffer such as
concentration camps, restrictions
in daily life, and mandatory housing in the ghettos.

11. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens
Magnolia Plantation and
Gardens has been open to
the public since the 1870s
but contains some parts
that are more than 325
years old. The House is
just one of the properties
to be in the Drayton family
possession for more than
three centuries. Also on
the plantation, are the
slave cabins. This region’s
history is often overlooked
so the tours offered here
give credit where it is due.

12. South Carolina Aquarium
The South Carolina Aquarium offers
many programs as well as the
option of walking around and
enjoying the Aquarium. We went
to the Animal Encounters: A Great
Hall Live Animal Program. It was
surprising each time a new animal
came out. We also attended the
All About Alligators: A Blackwater
Swamp Program. We learned
about the Alabaster albino and the
American alligator species. The
last thing we did (not including just
walking around) was The
Aquarium Behind- the- Scene
tour. We got to go behind the
exhibits, learn how the employees
feed all the creatures, and
everything else the people do to
run the Aquarium.
