More of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History

The Smithsonian National Museum of American has a bit of our history from our wars and presidents to sports to entertainment to inventions and technology. You could spend days and days just in this museum alone.

Apolo Ohno's Speed Skates worn in the 2002 Olympics.

The American wars were represented from the Declaration of Independence

through World War II

and the War in Vietnam -- called the television war.

There was quite an extensive exhibit from the different US presidents from chairs to golf clubs to chess boards and, here, eggs from the traditional Easter Egg Hunts held on the front lawn of the White House.

In the entertainment history section is Carol Burnett's dress she used on a spoof about Gone with the Wind...

and, of course, Kermit the Frog.
Also in the museum was Julia Child's Kitchen
