Elvis Presley’s house in Memphis is the second most visited building in the USA (after the White House in Washington D.C.)
Washington, the capital of the USA, is in the District of Columbia (D.C.). This special district is not any state, because it’s the home of the federal government. It’s named after Christopher Columbus.
