Basis DC‘s middle school class, whose charter school is walking distance from the Society on 8th Street, visited June 12th to observe how DC’s neighborhoods have changed over time, using the Kiplinger Collection. While here, we challenged the students to answer all of our DC history trivia questions using only Window to Washington. As you can see, the competition was fierce!
