Behind-the-Scenes Tours

Behind the Scenes

"Excellent [tour] -- informative, interesting & entertaining"

"Wonderful opportunity -- thank you!"

A Nationally-Recognized Tour Series

Like many museums locally and around the world, much of the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site's collection spends a lot of its time behind closed doors -- safely tucked away in acid-free boxes so that it will be available for future generations.  But, what about current generations?  Well, they're getting their chance to see these reclusive objects now--through a series of special "Behind-the-Scenes" tours led by Site Curator Lenora Henson.   Each theme-based tour gives a small group of visitors the unique opportunity to get "up close" with rarely-seen artifacts and is filled with interesting stories and anecdotes.
