Ditto on Bill D's request above!!!

I have gone to the LOC several times during lunch.

The Folklife Center is in the 1st floor of the Jefferson Building.

When I went you had to enter the building from the back (2nd street) and then proceed immediately to the ID room to get your very own LOC Picture Library Card. It takes about 20 minutes. You then went further down the same hall and the FolkLife reading room was on the left.

There is also the general music and recording room in the Madison room. That is where you can request to see/hear many of the old song books that the LOC has on file. For example, I found a copy of the Steeleye Span Songbook there, as well as the Dylan Songbook that includes Wallflower.

Here is a link to a LOC campus map. It shows the location of the Capital South Metro station in the lower right hand corner. Also, Nathan would love the Air and Space and/or the Natural History Museum! Last, depending on when you are coming the Civil War Re-enactment season is startin. Though I don't participate as a re-enactor, I know there are events on May 4-5 in Northern Virginia. You should have fun!

Would love to see/meet you in 3-D. From the threads it sounds like you know a lot of old string and jug band tunes that I am becoming very interested in. Would love to help out a fellow AnnArborite in any way I can. Send a PM.
