It may not be on exhibit, but you may be able to have a private showing. Their museum is a wonderful place at any time of the year.<br /><br />MarleaMarleanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068518284057885551.post-57655504592657121332013-04-20T17:30:29.540-05:002013-04-20T17:30:29.540-05:00I live outside DC in Virginia. You submit requests...I live outside DC in Virginia. You submit requests for a White House tour through your member of congress. Give them the dates you will be in town and be flexible. Can you believe I've lived here my whole life and never done it? You'll also want to go to the DAR museum. Contact them to set up a date to get a look at quilts that aren't on display. Hope you enjoy your trip.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045447993210042025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068518284057885551.post-87798373837163554722013-04-20T16:06:33.157-05:002013-04-20T16:06:33.157-05:00We visited before I was a quilter so I didn't ...We visited before I was a quilter so I didn't see the quilts. We spent a week and didn't see everything. Get a hotel near a subway entrance and use that as your transportation.(very clean and safe) Renting a car is too expensive to find a place to park it, the subway will get you everyway. If you can arrange a tour to see the city at night it's wonderful. I wasn't impressed with the White House tour. My most memorial was the Vietnam Wall to find my brothers name.mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02953999600793844312noreply@blogger.com
