Whether you’re touring its public rooms, catching a glimpse of the First Family’s home, or simply soaking in the energy of the bustling avenue that connects the Capitol to the presidential grounds, a visit to the White House is a bucket-list pilgrimage for anyone eager to stand at the heart of U.S. history and governance.
