September promises to be a busy and exciting month starting with the exhibits: James Hoban: Architect of the White House and Presidential Letters and Signatures. Both exhibits provide an extraordinary glimpse into history. You'll learn about the man who designed the White House as well as read letters from many of our former Presidents, including George Washington and James Monroe. These letters are pure historical treasures which will transport you back in time. Please take a few moments to complete the following satisfaction survey.
Your input is very important to us and is part of our continuing effort to ensure quality improvement. |
