Historical Tour of the White House

Welcome to our online tour of the White House, the First Family's Home. Every day, more than 6,000 people come to visit the White House. Through this online tour, we invite you to join these visitors and tour the White House. Our website tour highlights the rooms seen on the live tour and describes their functions and features. We have also included descriptions of a few areas not seen on the live tour but of interest to many. Theses include the Oval Office, Cabinet Room, the West Wing and the East Wing. We thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy your visit to the First Family's Home. (The information on these pages is from the book The White House: An Historic Guide written and published by the White House Historical Association.)
