The Spy Museum documents and inspires crazy acts of espionage history. But in a city full of free museums, it seems expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might not be the best place for a general family visit. However, for special occasions and select family members, it’s a fun experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. U-2 Airplane Scrap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This fragment is from the reconnaissance plane that Gary Powers was shot down in over the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This original letter set up the espionage ring Washington used during the War for Independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
