Woodridge | DC Neighborhoods

Описание: Take a deep dive into the history and culture of Woodridge, DC! This neighborhood has a fascinating past, from being home to the first authorized toll road in the country to playing a key role in the creation of the Statue of Freedom atop the U.S. Capitol. Discover how sculptor Clark Mills and his enslaved apprentice Philip Reed worked to cast the iconic statue, and how Woodridge evolved over the years. We also explore the present-day vibrancy of Woodridge with a visit to The Museum Shop, a community-driven streetwear brand that celebrates DC culture. Learn how their designs have made their way from local streets to national sports teams and celebrities.
