Library of Congress
Prepare to be awestruck as we enter the Library of Congress's Thomas Jefferson Building, one of the most beautiful landmarks in Washington, D.C.
Your guided tour begins in the breathtaking Great Hall, a masterpiece of Gilded Age art and architecture. From a scenic overlook, you'll gaze down upon the magnificent, domed Main Reading Room. We will then visit the very foundation of the modern library: a portion of Thomas Jefferson's original book collection, purchased by the nation after the first library was burned in the War of 1812.
Throughout our visit, your guide will explain the library's rich history, its vital role as the largest library on Earth, and how you can access its incredible resources. This is an inspiring journey into a true temple of knowledge and American history.

Folger Shakespeare Library
We take a delightful detour from politics to poetry with a visit to a true Capitol Hill treasure: the Folger Shakespeare Library.
Step through the doors of this beautiful Art Deco building and find yourself transported to Elizabethan England. Inside, you'll discover a world-class museum and research library dedicated to the Bard and his era. The main attraction is the unparalleled collection of William Shakespeare's First Folios. You will get an up-close look at the world's largest gathering of this priceless book—the original 1623 publication that saved 18 of Shakespeare's greatest plays from being lost to history.
Beyond these historic treasures, we will marvel at the stunningly intimate and authentic replica of an Elizabethan theatre, a space that truly connects us to the vibrant world of 16th-century London. This stop is a cultural oasis, offering an inspiring look at one of the most influential figures in world literature.

How do nine justices shape the laws that affect all Americans?
You'll hear tales of landmark cases and legendary justices who have defined American history. More importantly, your guide will connect that history to the present, discussing current cases and explaining their profound meaning for the nation's future.
