The People's House: A White House Experience

The People’s House: A White House Experience is an educational museum in Washington, D.C., operated in connection with the White House Historical Association, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and sharing White House history. Open daily, the museum explores the Executive Mansion, its residents, and the people whose work supports its functions. Permanent, year-round exhibits use interactive technology and immersive experiences to bring this history to life, with features that include a replica Oval Office and activities inspired by the Situation Room and a State Dinner.

Visitors can reserve timed-entry passes, and groups of 16 or more can request group reservations. The museum also offers field-trip experiences for K–12 students, youth groups, corporate groups, and adults, including hands-on workshops in its classrooms. The People’s House Shop sells items such as the Official White House Christmas Ornament, with purchases supporting the Association’s mission. Visitors can also donate to help maintain and enhance the facility, its exhibits, educational programs, and public access to White House history.
