Lillian & Albert Small Jewish Museum



We made it to the Lillian and Albert small Jewish museum & Jewish historical society of Washington DC today. We arrived just a few minutes before 1pm after having lunch at the green Turtle nearby, and the gate was still chained shut, So we called the number on the sign as directed and within a few minutes a representative arrived to show us around. The museum consisted of a trip inside one of DC's first synagogues and the story of how it came to be where it was. Originally located elsewhere and moved the exhibit included photographs of the many uses it had to endure before finally being rescued and moved to it's new home on a small piece of left over land from a freeway on ramp.
