Description: ARLINGTON. The use of illegal drugs in America has long been a difficult problem, and this museum delves into the ways drugs have infiltrated our country, and the actions that have been taken to stem the tide. At the DEA Museum, the first of its kind in the US, see a recreated crackhouse, learn about the common over-the-counter drugs that once contained heroin and cocaine, and find out more about the diverse groups of people who have relied on illegal drugs for escape. Chronological exhibits examine time periods stretching back to the 1850s and leading up to today. Retired DEA agents serve as knowledgeable and interesting guides. METRO: Pentagon City
