"In 1825 the Marquis de Lafayette stood high above Washington DC on the steps of Arlington House at Arlington National Cemetery, and declared the view of the Potomac River and the nascent city the finest view in the world. 

The scene from Arlington House stretches from what is today the Key Bridge on the left, to National Airport on the right.

Follow along with retired Smithsonian researcher Roger A. Mola (HUMEC '83) as he illustrates how that view has changed in the last two centuries, spanning farms to forts, bridges and cannon batteries, and from airports to amusement parks."
