How Two Tiny "Houses" Ended Up on the National Mall
The pencil-like shape of the Washington Monument, the grand pediment of the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol Dome are all emblematic shapes of Washington, D.C. But in addition to these architectural juggernauts, two smaller, more understated buildings on the National Mall often draw the eye.

This is really neat. I have lived in the DC area all my life and never knew there was a Cognressional Cemetery. I found this blog very interesting and informative. _x000D_
I, like Katie, also did not know that this existed. I might have to check it out the next time I'm in that area of the city before a DC United game!
I have visited the cemetery several times but because they also have a private dog walking program, and we do lot of voluntary work at the cemetery - helping with the maintenance. Dog walking program is permitted by membership only - "dogs/owners" pay annual membership. Also they have weddings there, Yoga classes, tours and 5K (Dead man's run around on October 5th, 2019 its and kids run).
