The First Continental Congress, an assembly of representatives from the colonies, required a meeting location in 1774. The delegates met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the first time. It was effectively a capital city, as the seat of government is located wherever the capital is. The 13 northern and southern states, on the other hand, desired a capital that represented them equally—not too far north or south. (All of the states were along the East Coast at the time, from Georgia to New Hampshire.) As a result, in 1790, Washington chose a location in the middle, between Maryland and Virginia. During the 1812 war, the city was nearly destroyed. The city's population remained tiny for a time, but following the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the city's population exploded. Today, Washington, DC is a 68-square-mile federal district that houses major government structures.

There is always something educational to do in the city, constantly surrounded by history and culture. So if you are thinking of buying a mobile home in Washington, here are a few things to do.

⁠National Mall
The National Mall is the first place you should see in Washington, DC. It's been featured in hundreds of films, performances, plays, postcards, and art prints, and now it's time to experience it for yourself. So many historic American institutions are on the long, grassy slopes.

On a guided tour of the National Mall, there is more than ten iconic tour stops to see on any day or night. You can learn about the exciting history of the Smithsonian museums and the Potomac River and memorials to Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Jr.

⁠Arlington Cemetery
The Arlington National Cemetery is one of the most well-known cemeteries in the United States, and a visit here allows you to pay your respects to more than 300,000 military heroes who died in battle.

⁠CityCenterDC
CityCenterDC is a "mixed-use development" in the heart of downtown that spans more than five blocks. In other words, the place is a massive commercial and retail complex containing shops, parks, restaurants, hotels, offices, and condos all in one location.

Go Ape
You haven't lived until you've thrown yourself down a mountain while being tethered to a thin cord strung between two trees. Fortunately, this is only one of the many activities available at Go Ape Zipline & Adventure Park. Ziplining, clambering across rope bridges, and airborne obstacle courses are just a few available activities.

⁠Washington Harbour
Washington Harbour has activities for every season, so it's a destination that welcomes visitors at any time of year and is a fun, busy place. The views of the river are spectacular, and you can take advantage of them in a variety of ways, including renting a canoe or jet ski and enjoying them directly on the water. You can walk, go biking, or tickle your taste buds at the local hot spots if you prefer to stay on solid ground. On the other hand, you can wander until the sizzle of fresh catfish tempts you into a seafood joint on your own.

⁠National Zoo
The National Zoo is a must-see attraction in Washington, DC, for various reasons, so if you're an animal or nature enthusiast visiting the city, it's a must-see. The sheer variety of creatures within the zoo is the primary incentive to stay. It is home to almost 2,000 animals, including a family of giant pandas. Any animal that jumps, flies, crawls, stalks, slithers, or rolls around in bamboo is presumably here. Another fantastic feature of the zoo is that it offers visitors a diverse range of events and activities.
