You’ve Arrived!
Welcome to Historic America’s walking tour of the Presidents’ Neighborhood. We’re glad you can join us! I’m Aaron, your guide (but I also respond to professional history nerd). This is the part of the tour where I fit in my shameless plug for our website www.historicamerica.org and invite you to use #historicamericatours on social media while traveling alongside us today. Alright, on with the show. This tour will explore not just the White House, but the fascinating buildings which surround it. Whatever mode of transportation you use to get here, a good starting point is Farragut Square beside the intersection of 17th & I Streets NW. Once you arrive, it’s a short walk to our first point of interest - the famous buildings of Pennsylvania Avenue. Locate the intersection of 17th & I Street NW. On the southeast corner of the intersection, note the metro station entrance. Walk south on 17th street, keeping the metro station on your left hand side. Two blocks down, you’ll hit the intersection of 17th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue. Make a left on Pennsylvania and a short walk ahead, you’ll notice a building with a long, green, street level awning. This is our first stop.
