Clint Eastwood's new biopic 'J. Edgar' opens wide this weekend. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as the controversial late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
A couple of local spots are featured in the film, including the Library of Congress' Thomas Jefferson Building and the Old Fauquier County Courthouse in Warrenton, Virginia.
And if you want to tap into your inner G-Man after seeing the pic, you can visit the "G-Men and Journalists" exhibit at the Newseum (on display through 2012), the International Spy Museum or the National Crime and Punishment Museum.
But what about a tour of the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building you ask? The once-popular tour has been suspended indefinitely. And according to a report in The Washington Post, there could be major changes coming to the much criticized headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue because the building is "aging" and "deteriorating." Whether the building is razed or renovated, hopefully the tours start up again soon.
