Top 5 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Dupont Circle, District of Columbia (DC)

October 8, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

Foundry United Methodist Church

Reviewed By Kittygal - Los Angeles, United States

On my recent DC visit, I was staying just up the street from this beautiful old church. As I was walking past, I asked a churchgoer if I could have a quick look at the beautiful organ. They invited me in for service, even after I explained I was actually on my way to Catholic mass at the nearby parish. The artwork, architecture and setting were beautiful and the choir sounded delightful. After services, I was also invited for food and drink in the church hall. A very welcoming congregation to this out if area visitor. And a very inclusive ministry. All are welcome.

Reviewed By lpMaggi713 - Baltimore, United States

Farragut Square is the core of a bustling daytime commercial and business district. The area has many major hotels, legal and professional offices, news media offices, travel agencies, and many restaurants including two underground food courts In the center of the square, we found the statue of David G. Farragut, a Union admiral in the American Civil War famous for rallying his fleet with the cry, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" He was the "First Admiral in the Navy." It was sculpted by Vinnie (Ream) Hoxie and dedicated April 25, 1881 by President James A. Garfield and First Lady Lucretia Garfield.
