The White House is one of the most iconic and historic landmarks in Washington, D.C. largely because it’s the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. I would recommend to anyone interested in American history and politics to tour the inside of the White House (it’s free but limited). The White House is also visible from outside by keeping a distance from it. You can also see the National Mall and Memorial Parks nearby (there are 14 parks and monuments in total), including the iconic Washington Monument.

Do not miss visiting the US capitol. The building is amazing and the history it tells is a must do when visiting Washington DC. You can do a free tour where a guide is telling you a lot of facts about the building, the people who worked here and the ones who still work here. You can experience the history of the government of the United States here better then any where else.Secret tip: visit the capitol when the sun is down for a walk around the capitol garden.

Confederate Museum (The Museum of the Confederacy) is located in downtown Richmond, Virginia, very close to the Virginia State Capitol, a few minutes walk. Richmond was the Confederate during the American Civil War (The Confederate States of America , CSA, translated as "Confederate State of America", "Confederate United States", or "Confederate"). The Confederate Museum is with the Confederate White House. The Confederate White House (White House of The Confederacy) is a white residential building, originally a private house of a rich Richmond mansion, and later belonged to Richmond City. In 1861, Jefferson Davis was elected president of the Confederate by the Southern regime. 1861-1865 The Confederate rented the house to the Richmond City Government for Davis and his wife and children. After the Confederate failed, Davis fled Richmond. Now the interior room and furnishings have been restored according to the original history. Davis' office is upstairs. Now, with the hospital towers built nearby, the Confederate Museum and the Confederate White House look small.
