- Washington, D.C. is known as the home of awesome monuments and center of our federal government. But for those who travel to visit the area, it is also known as the home of many prominent and fascinating museums. In particular, about 20 Smithsonian museums (and the Smithsonian National Zoo) all call the capital city of the United States home. And the best part is all of these Smithsonian museums are free to the public! We haven't been to all the Smithsonian museums (yet). But in this video, we take you along and show you just a few of the highlights of the most recent one we visited - the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. This museum had exhibits that tell the story of America's military history, political history and cultural history. You can see America's oldest surviving fighting vessel, the personal effects of a number of former Presidents, and even a couple of famous droids from the Star Wars films. Visiting the Smithsonian Museums is the BEST free activity in Washington, D.C. Watch this video to find out why!

Enjoyed visiting the American History Museum with you Jack and Alice. Loved seeing Clara Barton's ambulance! So many exhibits of our nations history. Ahh. But the entertainment section is where you find the folks! 😁😁That's a fun part of our history too. Just not the only part! The prices of the DC museums are great! Thanks for bringing us along.
Walking with you here in the Smithsonial feels like I'm really there. I can experience the museum from my home over 3000 miles away in vegas. I like the the gunboat the most, great voiceover on that exhibit. Thanks for sharing your musceum experience with us my friend. like # 28
A great museum that records American traditional culture and historical artists
Thanks for sharing such a good message ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Great highlights! I came here with my parents when I was around middle school age. You showed a lot of great things, wonderful tour. I remember the Ruby Slippers the most!!!
I visited this museum as a child and I’d love to go back now that I appreciate US history so much more.
The library of Congress is on my list for next time!
I’ve heard amazing things about it!
Thats exactly the kind of museum I would be interested in exploring! There so much vast and fascinating history on display to proudly represent the beautiful story of this nation! I hope to visit it myself some day!
Great video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your highlights from the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
The exhibits on Clara Barton, American Wars, and the American presidency were especially fascinating.
The entertainment exhibit seemed so popular, and I can see why with all those amazing artifacts. Thanks for sharing! Greetings!
I was able to visit here once when my Aunt and Uncle lived near there. I really loved it! There is so much to see and so much to read on the placards on each display. The entertainment section was really cool, I liked Dorothy's ruby slippers. Thanks for taking us along!
Such an interesting museum, great to visit for sure 👌👌thanks so much for sharing guys, enjoyed it
Excellent tour here my friends enjoyed this all the best take care 👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰
The Smithsonian museums are so incredible! I wrote a paper once on Clara Barton! Interesting game for Kennedy! If walls could talk- that house probably has a lot of stories! Amazing that they have so many artifacts! Great job!
Wow! Such a beautiful and interesting place. I love it. Thank you for sharing your enjoyable video. Have a nice day.
We just loved the Museum of America history. This was among some of our first videos. Pearl went there when she was growing up, and for me, that was my first trip to DC
We have ever visited Washington DC in 2014 but missed to the Museum. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It's a so fascinating American history museum. Definitely we will visit the Museum in the future.
The Smithsonian is an amazing museum. Nice share
Hey friends, excellent video "as always" on this Smithsonian museum, so professionally done! Have a great weekend 😊,
Awesome video and sneak peek of the museums. We toured the National Mall and museums about 18 years ago and absolutely loved seeing all the museums and monuments. We spent 3 full days and barely scratched the surface of what you could see. I think we need to go back for more! Thanks for sharing your visit. So awesome! Have a wonderful day.
This museum looks amazing 🤩
This was a grteat video well done. Love your filming and editing and your narration was perfect! We have not been to Washington DC yet but it is on the top of our list. We love museums and you covered everywhere we want to go perfectly without telling us to much which was so smart. Your video was so well done informative, enjoyable and moved quickly while entertaining. I would have agreed with you on seeing people pass up on some important history would make us sad as well. We have subscribed to your channel and will be supporting you we look forward to watching many more of your videos so well done. Our daughter lived in New york for 3 years it was difficult to cover everything when we would visit. Thanks Jack and Alice love your channel!
My kids have been asking to go back to Washington, D.C. and I would definitely like to visit more of the museums.
That was pretty wild to see GW shirtless 😁. Yeah I’d like the entertainment section. Thanks for sharing ❤❤Jenn
Sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch stay safe and blessed great video
The Smithsonian museums are so amazing. Washington D.C. is really a great place to visit. I enjoyed hearing about the exhibits you saw and learned from.
the Philadelphia gunboat exhibit is fascinating, what an incredible piece of history to have on display right there in pristine condition. great museum tour would love to see in person thanks for sharing ✨
Such a cool museum! I was there a few years ago and always enjoyed the exhibits! SO much history with all our former presidents! Entertainment nation would probably be my favorite exhibit also. Definitely a geek out moment!
I know I am dating myself here but I used to play with Lincoln logs! Very interesting and fascinating stuff/artifacts! Very nice I would love to visit one day.
Hi guys this museum looked great and even better that its free ! So much in there to see for all ages i guess. That ambulance wagon was amazing to look at and so was that boat found at the bottom of the lake and the cannonball. The house full of history was my favourite exhibit and the star spangled banner story. The entertainment exhibit looked great though and I would really love to see those ruby slippers ! That was a great tour :) ~ Anna 👍
wonderful trip in historical place.
Always enjoyed this museum, but haven’t been in years! Thanks for the reminder that I need to go!

Hello from Naples, Florida. An awesome visit to the Museum. Lots of history to see there. We visited the Smithsonian many, many years ago. Thank you for sharing with us, have a great week. 💯
Oh man I’ll be a little behind you on releasing our DC Museum videos. Hopefully I’m not too influenced. You presented it so well. The kids have no idea of dialed knobs. We went a couple weeks after you guys went.
With a 5 year old, our pace was pretty fast as we checked our the exhibits. Seeing the first ladies dress was one of my favorite. The Star Spangled flag is the reason I go back even though we can’t film.
Very beautiful museum! Greetings from Palma de Mallorca!
How cool that they found the boat in Lake Champlain, such an important part of history. I'd really like to see more Smithsonian museums, better get it on the list. Thanks, Alice and Jack! 🛡️🌞
We love the Smithsonian Museums when we visited many, many years ago. It looks like there is a lot of new things on display. 🐸
New subscriber,,watching my friend,,thanks for sharing ur video
That is well put together museum. I love going to history museums. Entertainment looks awesome, I would love to see some of those movie props. I definitely would not skip the history part of the museum but I would probable spend more time in the pop culture museum. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, Willie! I am such an outlaw! 😂😂
This Smithsonian museum looks really fascinating! I love the 200 year old house and could only imagine how life was for the families who lived there.
I also really liked the entertainment exhibit. Very cool!
The Smithsonian is truly an amazing museum, thanks for taking us along!
Very informative!
Such a great place to see. Haven’t t been since the 6th grade. Definitely need to get back, so many cool things there
Great Museum and great exhibits. So many beautiful buildings that we did not get to see. Loved the movie section and pop culture. It is a pity that I missed so much in Washington DC. Thank you for taking us along on this awesome episode Jack and Alice. Have a great week. A great place to visit. 👍🏼🤠🙏🏼🌸

very cool! 👍🔥
Sorry we are behind! We were away. I’ve always wanted to visit the Smithsonian! Greg has been there and loved it. Wow the Red Cross wagon is incredible. Wow! The boat found at the bottom of the lake is so cool! The presidential things are so cool, like the toys and street names. Love the exhibit about the first ladies and their amazing contributions. Love the many voices, one nation exhibit too. Love the movie artifacts! The old Mickey Mouse ears, so cool! Fantastic video as always! Thank you for sharing with us! 😊💕

The ambulance wagon was really cool. I’ve been meaning to visit her house in Bethesda. It’s a museum! Maybe we can collab on a video there.
DC was one of our last real road trips recently! But never had a chance to hit the Smithsonians. And it's a LOT of Smithsonians (not all 20+, of course) that I went to back when I was a kid decades ago. The kid and I have a LOT of Amtrak trips to take to hit them all, and we plan to after our move to Philly.
ALL about the Civil War stuff. Gettysburg is on our list since the move.
I'm not sure Vietnam was a real-time war as much as what we now see with 24-hour news sources that didn't exist in the 60s & 70s.
The presidency IS a glorious burden. A powerful one. It must be used right, for the right reasons.
The displays of Louis Armstrong and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. NICE.
George was a bodybuilder in the day, wasn't he? LOL
The National Anthem exhibit...want to see Fort McHenry in Baltimore, too.
R2D2! And AnonyMommy will be all about the Wizard of Oz slippers.
Neat museum
I’ve not been to a Smithsonian Museum and now feel as if I’ve missed out. That old ship looked in such great condition considering what it had been through, sorry about that.
I’m not sure I’d want to play the Kennedy’s board game though!
All the Smithsonian Museums we have been to have been really fascinating. We highly recommend if you ever find yourself in Washington, D.C. in the future. We accept your apology for sinking our gunboat in 1776. LOL. What is an old boat between friends? That Kennedys board game though. Terrible game in retrospect. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@trvlnthru Washington DC is very much on my list. I do have an itinerary from New Orleans, I just need the time and the funds 😂
Yes, all that nonsense is all long gone away now. I wonder how the makers of the game felt like a decade after it was released? Probably like it was cursed.
How interesting! When we went to DC we saw all the monuments and got to tour the White House but did not make it there.
I visited this museum as a child and I’d love to go back now that I appreciate US history so much more. The library of Congress is on my list for next time! I’ve heard amazing things about it!
