The People's House: A White House Experience

The White House Historical Association is bringing a new cutting-edge education experience, “The People’s House: A White House Experience,” to Washington, D.C. one block away from the White House. The experience will tell the story of the Executive Mansion, its inhabitants and the people who have dedicated their careers to its functions. The space is set to open in September 2024.

Situated on 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, the 33,000-square-foot three-floor site will feature exhibits and galleries bringing the White House and its storied history to life. Visitors will interact with a large-scale White House model, recreation of the Rose Garden, full-scale replica of the Oval Office, recreation of White House moments and more dimensional galleries combining immersive media and inventive scenic representations.

“This will be a technology-rich, immersive experience where you will actually go into spaces and, due to the miracles of modern technology, those spaces will become White House rooms around you.”

Stewart McLaurin, President, The White House Historical Association
