Behind-the-Scenes tours of “The White House in Miniature”

Special “behind-the-scenes” tours of The White House in Miniature are now being offered with White House Historian Thomas Borcher.  During each 45 minute tour, Mr. Borcher will share fun and fascinating facts about our President’s home, including why there used to be alligators living in the East Room!  The only cost for this tour is the price of admission into the Library.  No reservations are required. 

The White House in Miniature offers visitors an intimate and detailed look inside the White House through a one-foot-to-one-inch scale replica of the actual White House.  Measuring sixty feet long and twenty feet wide, the replica took over 600,000 hours of labor to create and showcases every finite detail – from the Lincoln bedroom to the Oval Office to tiny, working televisions to hand-carved chairs, tables and crystal chandeliers. 

Tours of The White House in Miniature will be offered at 10:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 1:30 p.m. For more information, please call 800-410-8354.
