We will end our Washington World's Fair Weekend with a short bus tour to view highlights of Washington's Art Deco architecture, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, 1100 New York Avenue NW (former Greyhound Terminal), the Adams Building of the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the former Hecht Company Warehouse.

We will then proceed to Greenbelt, where we will have an introductory presentation with excerpts from the 1939 World's Fair film, The City, a walking tour, and a visit to the Greenbelt Museum's historic house (which will have souvenirs displayed as if the family had just returned from the 1939 fair).

The bus will return to Washington, with a stop at Union Station for connections to Amtrak or transfer to local airports. (Note: Other train or plane connections can be arranged.)

Additional information on the history of Greenbelt is included in the Guide to Washington's World's Fair Weekend.
