WASHINGTON — Ever wanted to tour the White House? What about the Rose Garden?
Now you can, for free, and from the comfort of your home thanks to The White House Historical Association.
You can access these materials year-round, but due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the White House Historical Association recently launched the new "Digital Resources for Distance Learning". It's categorized into grade levels so your children (and you) can learn about the history of the White House, see pictures of the famous visitors, and even learn about the First Pets that roamed the grounds.


The Association also just released the new "Sharing White House History" resources which links to educational content from more than 100 presidential sites across the country.
This aggregate collection includes resources from presidential libraries, museums, and historic homes from George Washington through the current day White House.
