    Something out of the ordinary for DC. We were on a tour and drove by this. I had not idea what is was until the tour driver explained it.

    Impressive for short (15 min) visit

    We looked for Arlington National Cemetary and came by accident here. Nice view and impressive for a short (15 min) visit. Very helpful people. We where not the first as we received a small paper how to drive to Arlington National Cemetery.

    Excellent parking and it is free. There is a security guard on duty as well. Flat area, easy for elderly or handicapped access. Not crowded at all the day we went.
