They don’t look a day over 100, but these Capitol columns are living their best retirement life in Northeast D.C. We’re counting down to America 250 by going Beyond the Marble of D.C., showing you lesser-known, interesting and important places in U.S. history. Now, we’re headed to perhaps the most surprising landmark at the National Arboretum.
