It is a privilege to present a very special program for spouses and guests. Please join me in the Spouse/Guest Hospitality Room located at the Renaissance Washington, D.C. Hotel. The Hospitality Room is open each morning from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Saturday, October 13th, through Wednesday, October 17th.
A continental breakfast is provided in the Hospitality
Room. This is an excellent opportunity to have a cup of coffee and a bite to eat, plus a chance to meet new people and catch up with old friends. This is also a great way to plan activities each day before heading out to enjoy all that our vibrant capital has to offer.
On Monday and Tuesday there will be well-versed speakers to inform and enlighten us before our exploration of Washington, D.C. I look forward to seeing you there!

INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE: PRESERVING ITS PAST AND ENRICHING ITS FUTURE
John Riley
Director of Education and Scholarship Programs
White House Historical Association |
The White House opened its doors to the first family in 1800 and ever since it has served as the office and home of each President. Abigail Adams, the first First Lady to reside there, found it to be cold and drafty, with half the rooms unfinished, and she resorted to drying the laundry in the East Room. But, Mrs. Adams had to admit, the view to the Potomac River was unsurpassed. Since then First Ladies, with help from their husbands, have overseen numerous interior changes and the acquisition of art and artifacts. Although visitors have enjoyed touring the house for two centuries, it is only in the past 40 years that the White House has been considered a traditional museum. During that period, the White House Historical Association has supported the efforts to portray the President's House as a shining centerpiece for guests from around the nation and the world.
John Riley oversees programs for K-12 and scholarly audiences at the White House Historical Association. Prior to that, he was historian at George Washington's Mount Vernon.
