18 April 2026 Washington DC: One Last Museum and Ford's Theater

 


We finish line is in sight.  We walked over to the Museum of American History.  We saw, across the street, a roccus Indian Wedding only to find a live band playing a hot samba inside the museum.  It was a big crowd that filled a couple of  large hallways and an alcove or two where they were dancing vigorously.  We continued to explore the American History with guitars, costumes, robots and iconic objects.  We head home and snack a bit on some left overs and prepare for our departure the next morning.

A costume from an 1857 Shakespearian theater production of Henry VIII,  The most unique aspect is that this is a male part being played by a woman,  Charlotte Cushman.  A rare advocate of gender equality.
