    "One of the neighborhood's most famous draws is Cedar Hill, the home of Frederick Douglass and now an historic site run by the National Park Service. Guided tours are your only way inside the home, which includes artifacts that belonged to the former slave-turned-nationally renowned abolitionist. In addition to that home, some 500 other buildings comprise the Anacostia Historic District, featuring unique two-story cottages, Italianate-style architecture and Queen Anne style homes."

    "For as well documented as its history is, Anacostia also provides a serene natural retreat for walkers, hikers and bikers. Hop on the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail (it connects the east and west sides of the river at the 11th Street Bridge and South Capitol Bridge) and explore it from Poplar Point, part of National Capital Parks-East, northeast to the nearby Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens."
