(https://www.loc.gov/static/portals/visit/documents/PhotographyGuidelines.pdf). \nThere’s a good chance it will be cold outside. There is a cloakroom for coats. \nThe details have not been worked out yet\, but we are researching places to go afterward for lunch. We’ll keep you posted. \nWe hope you will join us for this unique opportunity! Please email fieldtrips-2019@nvps.org if you are planning to attend.  \nJudy Graham and Tana Ebbole \nNVPS Field Trip Coordinators 2019-2020
