RE: Trip to D.C. - help, please!
Thanks for mentioning the Building Museum/Pension Building, Kieran. It is magnificent. I also pm'd Angela about the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. It is not the original building that Lincoln knew, but they have the Lincoln pew and a parlor scene where the President used to sit for sermons without disturbing the congregation. Original settee and some other furniture, a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, etc.
I also suggested the National Cathedral. It is comparable to many of the exquisite European cathedrals, plus it has the Lincoln Alcove with statues, etc. dedicated to his memory.
