Today we visit the Mall again, but before that we go to the National Archives where they have the original copies of the three main manuscripts in the history of the United States, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. It is too dark for the best preservation of the documents.

Our next stop on the Mall is the Smithsonian Museums.
