Hi, I'm going to be visiting DC soon and will need to carry my backpack around all day 1 of the days I'm there. Will museums, monuments & such allow me in with my backpack? Will I need to check it at the door & pick it up when I leave?
 
no - usually not a problem. Most museums will search them at entry, and many will not allow food or water, but cameras, wallets, coats, etc are fine.

We found that the hard way, when we packed a lite lunch, and ended up having to abandon that and drink our bottled water. Oh well.
 
I don't remember any trouble last year.

they did search me at Library of Congress.

No Biggie.
