The President's House Site interprets the Philadelphia residence used by George Washington and John Adams during their presidencies. The memorial also confronts the history of people enslaved in Washington's household and the contradiction between slavery and the nation's founding ideals.
Plan your visit
This is an outdoor interpretive site, not an intact presidential mansion. Read the panels as part of an Independence Mall walk, and check National Park Service alerts for access changes before visiting.
