My family came down to visit this past week. We went to the Newseum. I highly recommend it if you are ever in D.C. It has newspapers going back to the beginning of newspapers! I saw the first article mentioning baseball; one about Blackbeard, the pirate; one printed on wallpaper when printing paper was too scarce; and one about the death of Jesse James. There were prize-winning photographs, and an exhibit of journalists injured or killed in the line of duty. There was a moving ehibit about 9/11, and several pieces of the Berlin Wall. I could have spent at least another hour there just looking at the collection of antique newspapers.
