What people say

"Small garden that is part of the National Archives Museum. There are walking paths that wind you around the garden with multiple benches to sit and enjoy the plants and trees. There is a very small path of water that runs through the garden with a few ducks swimming around, very cute. With only a few plantings there isn't much color to the garden but still a pleasant place to spend time."
