Baku-APA. As Washington braces itself for what may be a prolonged government shutdown, more than 400 national parks and museums across the country have been forced to close and turn away scores of tourists, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti.
The last time the US federal government was forced into a partial shutdown in the mid-1990s, some seven million people were unable to visit shuttered national landmarks.
The partial shutdown, which has also forced the closure of some federal offices and services, will likely leave many tourists angry and surrounding business hurting yet again.
Here is a look at 10 famous US landmarks that will be closed as the Congress and President Barack Obama try to forge a deal on a bill that would fund the government.
