Enjoy Washington, DC!
The logical thing to do is stay on the “Mall” between the US Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial. Sorry, there really isn’t room on this page for a map at a large enough scale and with readable details to be useful. So here are some links:
Plan Your Visit gives you several great maps of the Mall, that identify the museums, monuments and art galleries. You’ll see some recommendations from the Augmented 8 below. This page also has downloadable maps at several resolutions.
https://www.si.edu/ Museums gives you information links to the various Smithsonian museums. We’ll be singing in one of them!
https://www.visitthecapitol.gov is the visitors’ center at the US Capitol. It’s on the other side of the Capitol building from our Friday night venue at the US Botanical Garden.
http://www.supremecourt.gov is just is just across the street from the Capitol’s visitor center. Might be fun to see, and there is a visitor center, but it’s only open Monday – Friday. http://www.supremecourt.gov/visiting/visiting.aspx.
https://www.loc.gov/visit/tours/guided-tours/thomas-jefferson-building/ gives you tour information about the Library of Congress. You can visit on weekdays and on Saturday, but only up to about 4:30 pm.
Here’s a high level view of the major monuments and museums around the Mall. The Lincoln, FDR and Vietnam Memorials are off to the left and they’re absolutely worth seeing, too. The red circles show how far the National Park Service thinks people would walk in 10 or 20 min from where we’re singing. If time is limited or you want to visit off this map, try metro or taxi.
