  • The National Archives Museum, Washington DC, District of Columbia, United States
    Enter the neoclassical building that acts as a temple to American history. Once inside, your expert guide will take you through the National Archives Rotunda to learn about the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution while observing the original documents. These papers, alongside the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers, are all signed by the prominent statesmen and founding fathers like Alexander Hamilton. Moving to the Public Vaults Exhibits, you’ll come face to face with letters from George Washington and John F. Kennedy. You’ll even see the Emancipation Proclamation, which, in 1863, led to the abolishment of slavery. Finally, in the Rubenstein Gallery, you’ll examine more historical documents like the Magna Carta of 1297, written well before the United States was even conceived, yet pivotal in influencing the other documents that you’ll experience in the Archives. By the end, you will have witnessed firsthand the humble documentation that created the world’s most powerful country.

Our guide, Megan, was amazing!! She brought everything to life for us. She was professional, approachable, knowledgeable, and adapted to our needs. I hope we get a chance to work with her again next time we are in town!!

We had a fantastic experience on the National Archives Tour with Annemarie as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history to life with her insights. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. A real highlight was getting to see all of the constitutional amendments on display — such a special treat! Highly recommend this tour, especially with Annemarie leading the way.
