Union Station opened on September 29, 1988 as a private/public ownership. In 1981 Congress restored the station with $160 million to preserve as a national treasure.

On April 24th 1800, President John Adams established the Library of Congress by approving $5,000 to purchase books. In 1801 the first books were shipped over from London and brought to the U.S. Capital. However 12 years later the British came to Washington D.C. during an invasion and burned down a 3,000 volume library. When Thomas Jefferson became president he sold his books to congress for the use of the government. Today the Library of Congress has more then 17 million books and keeps expanding.
