The White House Un-Tour
Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, the Roosevelts Theodore and Franklin, John F.
Kennedy: it’s all about presidents and their families, forbearing and frolicking
alike. We’ll explore the ins and outs of the President’s Mansion from the gentle
brick paths, shade trees and fountains of Lafayette Park, the president’s “front
yard.” On this tour, you’ll get to be your own president, catch a scavenger hunt
and collect fascinating insights into Washington’s keystone of power. Which
founding father anonymously entered the design competition -- and lost? Just why
was the now-famous West Wing added? And today it’s the formal, exquisitely
decorated audience room, but what did Abigail Adams first use the East Room for?
What in the world was a pony doing in the elevator? And how much paint would a
painter paint to make the White House white? (Sponsored by
