Climb the Clock Tower And Enjoy Spectacular Views of Washington D.C.
After a three-year renovation, the 315-foot Clock Tower at the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington D.C. is now open for your Washington D.C. School Trip to visit!  Centrally located between the White House and the U.S. Capitol, the Clock Tower provides a sweeping 360-degree view of our Nation's Capital (also currently the highest public vantage point for viewing Washington until the Washington Monument's construction is completed).
The landmark Old Post Office Pavilion was completed in 1899 and occupies an entire city block, centered on the north side of the Federal Triangle along Pennsylvania Avenue.  The Pavilion was used as the city's main post office until 1914.
The clock tower tour includes exhibits about the building's history.  Inside, your Washington D.C. educational tour group will view an enormous flag hangs in the lobby.  It is tied to a tradition begun by postal workers on June 14, 1908, when they sang the “Star-Spangled Banner” in front of a flag.  The tradition evolved into the annual June 14 observance of Flag Day.
The tower also provides student tour groups with a view of the interior workings of the illuminated clock.  The official United States Bells of Congress, a bicentennial gift from England celebrating the end of the Revolutionary War, are also on view.  If your Washington D.C. school trip visits on a Thursday evening or on a special occasion, your student tour will enjoy listening to the Washington Ringing Society as it sounds the Bells of Congress.  
Student Tours, Educational Tours, or Group Tours, Colonial Capital Tours (www.colonialcapitaltours.com) will customize your Washington D.C. Student Tour for you and your Washington D.C. Educational Tour!

One (1) small child & one (1) adult, a total of two (2) guests, tour at our one (1) guest fee. Two (2) small children and one (1) adult, a total of three (3) guests, tour at our (2) guest fee. Two small children classify as one adult. This family group depicted here would tour at our three guest fee. More children? Inquire.

Heritage island and Kingman lake, in Northeast, DC is more or less the same distance away from the U.S. Capitol building as the Lincoln Memorial. Here, the Whitney Young bridge connects East Capitol Street across Kingman lake and the Anacostia river. This lake was envisioned in the 1906 McMillan Commission plan for recreation, fishing and boating, and was created by the Army Corps of Engineers by the early 1920’s. It flows in and out of the Anacostia River, features lily pads, flowering American lotus, and wild rice, and is considered one of the few wild places left in DC. A variety of redevelopment schemes have been proposed or planned here. These included plans to fill in the lake to build a regional airport in the mid 1920’s. Proposals in the 1930’s to build an outdoor theatre & ice rink. A trash landfill was proposed in the early 1960’s, followed by proposals to build an amusement theme park. In the 1990’s, DC and federal officials were open to paving the islands with parking lots for the nearby NFL football stadium, which will be demolished in 2023. Bald eagles hunted here until the mid 1940’s, and only recently returned, with a pair of eagles procreating eaglets last spring at the National Arboretum, about 1.5 miles to the north of this location. This location is no more ambitious of a walk than going from the Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial, and within cycling distance. There is a metrorail station nearby, Stadium Armory station. And yes, we can take you here on a long pedicab tour along the Anacostia riverwalk trail, a paved multi-use pathway. Recently last spring, a male turkey or “Tom” was zealously patrolling this trail, perhaps to protect his nesting brood, but reports indicate he has moved on. #WashingtonDCtour #WashingtonDCtours #WashingtonDCtravel #WashingtonDCvacation #WashingtonDCbusinessTrip #dctours #dctour #DCtrip #WashingtonDCtrip #DCMetroTours#DCmetrosystem #DCMetrorail#washingtonDCpedicab #dcpedicab #wheelthepeople #dckidstour #dcstudenttour #FamilyTravel #DCtourism #AnacostiaRiver #AnacostiaWatershed #AnacostiaRiverwalkTrail #WildTurkey #Turkey #Turkeys #DCbiketrail #DCbikepath (at Kingman Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgWvujYLb4W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The prologue room at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt memorial now features a new interpretive aid for sight-impaired visitors: a newly-installed miniature version of Robert Graham’s sculpture of FDR seated in a wheelchair. FDR, who suffered from poliomyelitis, used a wheelchair when he wasn’t being photographed by the news media. He was concerned that his political opponents would use images of him in a wheelchair to paint him as unfit for the rigors and demands of being president. The wheelchair depicted in this sculpture is one of several built to FDR’s specifications. He had workers cut the legs off of an ordinary wooden chair and mount it to a custom-designed chassis. One of Roosevelt’s wheelchairs is on display inside the bookshop at the FDR memorial. Another is on display at the FDR presidential library in Hyde Park, NY. #nationalmalltours #dckidstour #dcstudenttour #FDRmemorial #DCtrip #DCtravel #NationalMall#NationlaMallTravel https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDXiJnr0px/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
