What is cool is how they show side by side the US government's perspective and the American Indian perspective to see how each thought about the treaty and seeking to obtain through the treaties. I had lunch at the cafeteria and had the fried bread which was described as a staple food/dish. It was very good. My friend got an espresso from the cafe (front side of the cafeteria). They exclaimed it was the best coffee they ever had. If you are looking for a good espresso, stop on by there. :)

So such amazing museum and presentation of Native America history. Awesome museum store too.read more

This review is long overdue. I was invited to dinner here and this has to go in the Top Ten places…read moreI've ever dined at. Of course my friend is a member and if I'm lucky, someday I will be too. It started off as I walked up the sidewalk and approached the club, the doorman was standing on the sidewalk. As I got closer, the doorman greeted me by name! I was taken a back for a minute wondering how could he possibly know my name! I was escorted in and asked to wait in the main reception while they went to get my friend. I went into what they refer to as the "Correspondence Lounge" which is sort of a small library with some incredibly old literary works. They have very strict rules and one of surprise is no use of cell phones... period. How refreshing! You can go into the Correspondence Lounge if you need to use your phone but otherwise you cannot use while in the dining room or other public areas. So make sure you "check-in" on Yelp when you are outside. Naturally they have a dress code, but really, if you have to ask what the dress code is, you probably aren't going to this place. Another rule I was surprised is they try to keep business limited so you cannot bring out a bunch of papers, laptop, etc... The only papers you can hold would have to be a newspaper or a book. Once seated, the service is impeccable. Extremely polite and not overbearing. They knew when we were engrossed in conversation and didn't interrupt. I had the lump crab cake for dinner and it was without a doubt the BEST! I lived in Virginia for five years and went to college at George Washington so I'm quite familiar with East Coast seafood and I can honestly say the lump crab at the Metropolitan Club is the BEST! I could go on about this place but simply put, if you have the opportunity to go, don't pass that opportunity up for what will end up being one of the greatest dining experiences of your life.

The Old Korean Legation Museum is a small off-the-National-Mall museum in a historic mansion along…read moreLogan Circle. The mansion was built in 1877 and became the Korean Legation in 1889. Essentially what that means is it served to establish diplomatic relations with what's now become modern North and South Korean. That ended in 1905 when Japan deprived the Korean Empire of their diplomatic sovereignty. The building was sold. For decades, Koreans in Washington, D.C. vowed to one day restore the building and in 2012, it happened. The mansion was sold back to Korea and underwent renovations. Today it's the only historic diplomatic building in the city restored to its original appearance. The building itself takes 20-30 minutes to walk through. It's free, but they do ask you to take off your shoes and wear slippers while in the mansion. There are three floors. The first two have the rooms (a dining room, bedroom, library, bathroom, etc) restored to its original appearance. The third floor is a small museum exhibit telling the history of the building. The third floor also has a beautiful view of Logan Circle. When you arrive, the gentleman in charge of the mansion will ask you watch a 6-minute film about the mansion. Then you are free to explore on your own. Outside is a small garden. If you enjoy interesting experiences, this is a unique find in DC!

I arrived around 2 pm, and was directed to an outlying parking lot. A shuttle bus took people to the museum (after about a 15 minute wait to add more passengers) & admission to the festival was $10. They were selling wine for $5 and beer from Forward Brewing. You could get a plate of oysters from Skippers Pier and there were several other food vendors. They had live music in two places. The views are great. I enjoyed one sign & map that showed exactly what the landmarks are across the water, from Beverly Beach, Thomas Point, the Bay Bridge, etc. There was such a big crowd that I did not tour the inside of the museum, but I will definitely go back.

I have driven by the Galesville Heritage Museum before, but today was the first time it was open…read more I love local historical societies (I was the head of one for a decade in rural MoCo). So I pulled in. This one is located in a historic house, which is very well maintained. They have exhibits inside and some nice features outside as well. They are open on Sunday afternoons. I perused the exhibits and talked to the docents, who were well versed in local history. They have done a nice job with exhibits in a limited space. I learned about steamboats, local schools, the old general stores, canning factories, and other aspects of daily life in Galesville. Because it was Mothers Day, they had lemonade and cookies. Outside, there is a nice boardwalk walkway with signage, gardens, and a historic boat behind the house. I joined as a member so I will hear about upcoming events and festivals.

I revere St. John's College. It is among the oldest institutions of higher education in the nation,…read morededicated to the Great Books. I always wanted to attend. I interviewed for a job there once, and I imagine someday trying to read their required curriculum, specified down to the preferred translation. Passing through Annapolis, I took a break from the drive. I stopped into the Mitchell Art Museum. Every college should have a museum. This is at the center of campus, more or less. They had a special exhibit. Three students or staff or students doubling as staff were seated in the gallery. They welcomed me. I looked around. I was done quickly. To put it into perspective, I spent more time in the bookstore browsing than I did here. That said, I wish to reiterate my enthusiasm for the college, my support for art museums, and my pleasure to have visited. I am just setting expectations. This is a brief digression, not a destination to spend a day. I hope St. John's continues to do well. In our era, we need more reading, writing, critical thinking, independent thought, and communities of scholars.

Unfortunately, I trusted Apple Maps and visited on a day that it was really closed; although I did not really miss much. There is only one room which is poorly marked in a campus building. It should be called the St John University art exhibit room. If one is on the campus with absolutely nothing else to do, it would might be worth taking a peek; but if you have to walk more than 5-6 blocks, then it's probably not worth the time.
