Nestled on a 100-acre lot in the heart of Washington, DC, Gallaudet is in the middle of the nation's political hustle and bustle. It's a quick drive from the White House, Capitol building, Union Station, and other tourist destinations. Since Gallaudet has been around for over a century, the city has become infused with and inclusive towards deaf culture.
H-street, a 1.5 mile strip near Gallaudet where bars and shops are equipped to meet customer service needs and expectations of deaf patrons, is known as a mecca of deaf culture.
