Like most of the National Parks (and Monuments and Wildlife Refuges), this section of the National Mall has been underfunded and allowed to fall into disrepair. I found it particularly symbolic that a park dedicated to the Constitution has been so sadly neglected to fund this debacle.
The college observed Constitution Day with a book discussion and lecture by legal scholar Kimberly Wehle. Wehle's latest book, "How to Read the Constitution—and Why," is a guide to constitutional basics, combining a plain-language reading of the Constitution with an introduction to policy rationales and theory. Her discussion in Oberlin touched on why the Constitution matters, and what citizens can do about problems in government.

The east car (2) at the halfway passing place, Constitution Hill Cliff Railway, Aberystwyth. Tuesday 21 July 2015.
The cliff railway opened in 1896, it cost £60,000 to build and is in a cutting for its entire 798 ft. length. There are two tracks at 4ft 10ins gauge laid close together with a slight widening halfway to allow the two cars to pass. A zig-zagging footpath to the headlands summit crosses the railway on four girder and concrete bridges. The two wooden cars each originally seated 30 people; in 1989 they were both rebodied with prefabricated galvanised steel ones and marine ply panels. The seating capacity was reduced to 20 in four compartments; five passengers can also stand on each open platform. The west track car is No.1 and the east track car is No.2.

The USS Constitution is the oldest Navy ship. Named by President George Washington, the USS Constitution gives insight into early American History.
On our final day of vacation, we visited "Old Ironsides" - the USS Constitution at the Navy Yard in Charleston (Boston).
USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. Named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States of America, she is the oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat in the world. Launched in 1797, the nickname of "Old Ironsides" and public adoration that has repeatedly saved her from scrapping.

USS Constitution, known as "Old Ironsides," is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. Named after the United States Constitution, she is the oldest commissioned ship afloat in the world. Constitution was one of the six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794 and was launched in 1797. Joshua Humphreys designed them to be the Navy's capital ships and so Constitution and her sisters were larger and more heavily armed than the standard frigates of the period
