Fodor's Review:
Although the newspaper is no longer printed here, the claim to fame of the main Washington Post building when it opened in 1951 was that the printing plant and editorial offices were stacked so compactly in one small downtown location. You can see the newsroom that broke the Watergate story on a 45-minute guided tour of the building, which is otherwise not open to the public. In addition to the newsroom, there's a small museum dedicated to the history of the newspaper and old and new printing processes. Tours are given only for groups of 10 to 30 people, by reservation, and children must be at least 11 years old. You can reserve up to four weeks in advance; call for further information.
