You may never get to stay as a guest in the White House, but you may be able to check out the West Wing if you know who to call.

Step 1: Determine trip dates
Decide on a few dates when you will be available for White House tours during your trip to Washington, D.C. This should be done months in advance to allow enough time to schedule a tour.

Step 2: Contact Congress member
Contact your local Congress member to request a White House tour. Supply him or her with dates that you would like to visit the White House.

Tip
Visit congress.org to find your local Congress member's contact information.

Step 3: Follow up
Follow up with your local Congress member or a staffer a few weeks before your scheduled trip to determine your scheduled tour date if you have not already received a response.

Step 4: Call the tour office
Call the White House tour information line at 202-456-7041 before heading out for your tour in case of any changes or delays. Now marvel as you tour the historic White House.

Did You Know?
Construction of the White House started in 1792 but wasn't completed until 1800, when President John Adams and his wife Abigail became the first residents.
