Visit the Spirit of Washington D.C. and travel through history from the Founding Fathers to modern day politics with hands-on exhibits featuring George Washington’s inauguration, Abraham Lincoln’s assassination and the Watergate scandal. As visitors travel through these historical events and rub elbows with today’s leaders, they will become part of the moments and be able to touch the people that shaped the nation.
Another incredible experience featured in “The Spirit of Washington, DC” is a perfect replica of The Oval Office where guests can veto a bill, address the nation or simply put their feet up on the most powerful desk in the country.
Visitors can also experience history through the eyes and ears of the politicians and icons that lived it. For example, they can stand next to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill and listen in on phone calls as they strategize during World War II. In the Civil Rights exhibit, guests can witness Rosa Parks’ memory as she is asked to give up her seat on a Montgomery City bus. Visitors can learn about Watergate by researching actual press coverage and background information with Bob Woodward at his desk. They can also sweat it out in an interrogation as J. Edgar Hoover glares at them as he searches for communism in America.
