The National Forest Service is in a nondescript building compared to the nearby Smithsonian or USDA Administrative Headquarters buildings, but inside you'll find a neat little display of the history of the Forest Service and their battle to harness the positive potential of wildfires. The Forest Service is actually a part of the USDA! An animatronic Smokey The Bear greets you as you enter the main chamber of the exibit.
The posted coordinates take you to the entrance of the building. You'll go through three sets of double doors to see Smokey. The guestbook is to the left of Smokey -- in very low light conditions.
Hours appear to be M-F from 8 am to 4 pm year round, plus open on weekends from Spring to Fall. If you're taking the Metro to DC, this is very close to the Smithsonian stop on the Orange and Blue lines.
