The White House is one of the world's most famous buildings. It is a place where you can learn more about its art and architecture, the Presidents and First Ladies who have lived here.
Founded in 1964, the White House Fellows program is one of America's most prestigious programs for leadership and public service.
The White House isn’t simply a home to First Families or meeting space for world leaders, it’s also known as ‘The People’s House,’ a place that should be open to everyone. And that’s why President and Mrs. Obama have made it a priority to invite young people, military families, and Americans of all ages to join them here at the White House.
The President and First Lady have sought to not only increase the number of visitors, but also enhance each visitor’s experience at the White House. The Obamas opened the China Room to public tours and tourists are frequently invited out to the South Lawn to watch the President depart or arrive on Marine One. When possible, United States Secret Service now lead guided tours of the Executive Residence in the morning, giving guests a better understanding of the history as they walk through.
