A Capitol Idea

By Linda Tancs

Have you visited Washington, D.C.  lately?  Our nation’s Capitol building has a new visitor center, featuring a 13-minute film about Congress and the construction of their architecturally distinctive place of business.   On Wednesdays at noon, historians and educators give free chats about the building.  To date, over 2.3 million visitors have graced the visitor’s entrance since the opening of the new center.  That’s twice as many tourists as they’d seen in the year prior to the opening of the new digs.  If you build it, they will come, the saying goes.  Indeed they have.
