The American History Museum

Here are a few photos from the American History Museum, also part of the Smithsonian.  They have lots of Americana on display, an exhibit of First Lady ball gowns, a nice war exhibit, not to mention Julia Childs kitchen.

I noticed the inspection sticker on the window is from West Virginia.  Maybe Dad's old car?

A little Americana.  Carol Burnette's "Gone with the Wind" gown.
