ALEXANDRIA. The entire African-American experience is explored at this well-organized museum and educational institute. Made up of a library, reading room, and a heritage park, the facility focuses on the lasting legacies and continuing contributions made by black Americans to Virginia and to the US. This is an excellent place to learn about slavery, abolition and civil rights, and much more, with exhibits stretching from the late 1700s to today. METRO: Braddock Road
