The White House Historical Association is opening a new project called 'The People's House' just a block from the White House, which will use the latest technology to teach guests about American history.
WASHINGTON — A White House tour is practically a must-do when visiting Washington, but the experience can leave some guests wondering about spaces they didn't get to see, like the Oval Office. The White House Historical Association hopes to provide answers to some of those questions when it opens The People’s House: A White House Experience, in the fall of 2024.
Situated on three floors of a building a block from the White House at Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street, the $30 million educational center will use cutting-edge technology to teach the public about the storied executive mansion and its history.
The center will also incorporate a feature that the association has long wanted: an educational wing with classroom space for up to 200 students. The White House Historical Association was created in 1961 by first lady Jacqueline Kennedy to help preserve the museum quality of the interior of the White House and educate the public. It is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that receives no government funding. It raises money mostly through private donations and sales of retail merchandise.
