Just across the street, members of the Democratic Party in Congress are meeting at the Capitol Visitors Center. Yesterday President Obama came to address them, and today President Clinton is coming. A previous post on the CVC can be visited here . I went around the center last week - there is an excellent series of models showing how the area developed from the end of the 18th Century to today. There is good information on the working of congress - and two excellent book/gift shops.

The website can be accessed here.
