  • The National Archives Museum, Washington DC, District of Columbia, United States
    Step through the doors of this majestic neoclassical building, considered a temple to American history. Follow your guide, starting at the National Archives Rotunda to learn about the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution while standing in front of the perfectly-preserved documents from the 17th and 18th centuries. Alongside the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers, they all feature the signatures of world-famous statesmen like Alexander Hamilton. Next, in the Public Vaults Exhibits, letters written by presidents including George Washington and John F. Kennedy are on display. The United States’ turbulent racial past comes alive while learning about the Emancipation Proclamation, which helped end slavery in the 19th century. More recent papers, like a citation issued to civil rights activist Rosa Parks, illustrates how long these racial issues lasted. Finally, in the Rubenstein Gallery, examine even older documents like the Magna Carta of 1297. Although it was written well before the Americas were even discovered by Europeans, it heavily influenced many of the other artifacts you’ll see in the National Archives.

Paul was perfect! Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The tour was timed so we seen everything we wanted but never felt rushed. He added his own personal touches that really set it apart. He even looked up one of our interest at the archives. Would recommend Paul and this tour to anyone.

Very interesting tour. Brenda was a very knowledgeable and did rush us through the archives. As I was translating some key points to my group, she would stop so that I could do this.
