History
Washington’s layout traces back to Pierre L’Enfant’s 1791 plan; many federal monuments were sited to create intentional sightlines that define today’s visitor routes.
Conservation
High visitation concentrates wear on green spaces around the Mall and Tidal Basin—stick to paths, carry out trash and use museum lockers for bulky items to reduce impact.
