What distances are you comfortable walking? If a quarter mile to a half mile walk at a time is uncomfortable then Washington DC could become a problem. The Washington mall is over a mile long and it is setup for walking everywhere. Visit the websites and get a tour book or two with some accurate maps so you can plan out your visit ahead of time.
Mount Vernon is well worth visiting, and there is a lot of walking there too, it was a farm. The tour of the house involves climbing some steep narrow stairs.
The Capital building is difficult to get into, very long waiting lines unless you can get a VIP pass. The White House tour used to require reservations made through your US representative or senator. The Smithsonian is seven or eight totally different museums, allow a half day to tour any one of them. The Treasury tour requires reservations, but they are easy to get the day ahead. The Supreme court is open when the court is not in session. I think the bus tours originate at the old train station just north of the Capital building, I don't remember the name of that station. The Washington DC crowds are not wall to wall people, but it's busy and the distances are long, similar to being at a state fair.
It could be a very good trip, but you will need to plan ahead for it. Have a good trip.

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
