I really wandered here without much enthusiasm, but it was one of the greatest places I have been. There was the original and HUGE american flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner. This took place as he realized the British were retreating after almost destroying the young US in the War of 1812....no pictures allowed. They also had an exhibit on the assassination of Lincoln about to start so they had his personal carriage that he rode in to Ford Theater the night he was murdered....
Found this poster here that I thought totally rocked:
