About

Our history geek will take you to Foggy Bottom and then Lafayette Square – one of the most famous public spaces in the world. You’ll see where presidents lived, worked, partied, plotted and worshipped – before, during and after their time in office. You’ll check out some of DC’s oldest homes and hear the stories behind them: the founding of DC, scandals worthy of Real Housewives, a shootout, slaves fighting for freedom, a city on fire and lots more.

Presidents Included

You'll see homes and sites related to James Madison (and Dolley), James Monroe, Martin Van Buren, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. Plus we'll see the famous "church of the presidents" and get a great view of the White House itself.
