local sites
In addition to being near our
Nation's Capital, here are some sites very close to the Skate of the
Union:
National
Air & Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International
Airport is the companion facility to the Museum on the National Mall in
Washington, DC. The building opened in December, 2003, and provides enough
space for the Smithsonian to display the thousands of aviation and space
artifacts that cannot be exhibited on the
National Mall. The
two sites together showcase the largest collection of aviation and space
artifacts in the world.
Sully Historic Site
Sully was the home of Richard Bland
Lee, uncle of Robert E. Lee, and northern Virginia's first representative to
congress. He lived here with his wife, Elizabeth Collins Lee, from
1794-1811.
