In a story on alternative destinations for Inauguration Day, USAToday suggests traveling to the National Civil Rights Museum:

"Museum exhibits are usually closed on Tuesdays, but from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the museum will host a big-screen television airing of the inaugural festivities in Washington. Events coordinator Connie Dyson indicates the event was hatched after input from prospective visitors who could not travel to Washington: 'That's definitely the feedback we've been hearing from people who are interested in attending.'"
