We had the absolute pleasure of touring the National Archives with AnneMarie as our guide, and it was truly a highlight of our visit to Washington, D.C. Annemarie was nothing short of phenomenal — deeply knowledgeable, incredibly informative, and wonderfully engaging from start to finish.
I loved her passion for history and the documents that shaped our nation was infectious. She brought the stories behind the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta to life in a way that was thought-provoking.
Overall really amazed and the feeling that really connected us to our nation founding and family history in the US going back to 1686/87.
We stayed after were able to further explore and see the ongoing coal mining history exhibit.
If this is your first trip to the nations capital like it was mine I highly suggest this tour. Our trip would not have had same meaning and appreciation without the insights from Annemarie!
