Considered one of Washington D.C.'s oldest bedroom communities, Silver Spring is located on the northeast border of the capital and offers affordable accommodations along with a wide variety of American and ethnic restaurants. Some of the places of interest include The National Capital Trolley Museum featuring street cars from the 1950s; The Silver Spring B&O Railroad Station, which features railroad artifacts; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which showcases exhibits on meterology and hydrology. Those looking to sample some of the local vintage can pay a visit to the Penn Oaks Winery, and the Gudelsky Gallery displays modern and contemporary art work by local budding as well as established artists.
