This area includes the Capitol building, the Peace Monument, the Grant
Memorial, and the Botanic Gardens. We begin the tour at the southeast
corner of the Capitol, and go clockwise around the Capitol (along the
south, west, and then north sides). We then follow a walkway heading
west, from the northeast corner of the Capitol, to see the Peace
Monument at the intersection of First Street and Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW. We continue south along First Street to the Grant Memorial and
then south again to the Botanic Gardens. Total distance is about one
kilometer, or about three-quarters of a mile.
