Visit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. from your home in Palm Beach County. The White House has been the residence of every U.S. president since John Adams in 1800. Getting familiar with the history and art of the White House in person takes some doing. A visit to the White House can be one of the most memorable experiences during any trip to the nation's capital, but you will need to request no less than 21 days in advance.  First, one must submit a tour request through one’s Member of Congress.  COVID-19 has put in person tours of the White House on hold for now.

The public can delve into the White House virtually instead with high resolution images. Look at the paintings on the wall, wander the halls, and pan all around you to take in the elaborate furnishings, high ceilings, and stately decor.  The virtual tours are filled with hours of interesting things to explore and learn. There are several websites which provide virtual tours featuring photos and information about the historical significance of each part of the building.

One of the perks of an online tour is special access to some of the spaces that are not included in real-life tours of this extraordinary structure.  Google Arts & Culture offers a magnificent virtual reality tour of the White House.
