Guided Experience

Have you ever wanted to experience a personal, up-close moment with the original Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights? Great news—you have an opportunity to do so while hearing fascinating stories of American history within the National Archives Museum! 

As an exclusive donor benefit, you can skip the line, avoid the crowds, and dive deeper into our nation’s profound history with the help of a knowledgeable Archives Foundation insider guide. Opportunities are available before, during, and after hours for you and your group to experience firsthand the rich history of the Charters of Freedom (and much more). 

There are also guided opportunities for schools, non-profits, and corporations. 

What else will you see? You will encounter the vast holdings of the National Archives, with original records including but not limited to the 1297 Magna Carta, Revolutionary War era letters, and rare video footage of key moments in American history. Throughout your visit, your Archives Foundation insider will guide you through the building’s grand architecture and bring you into the pages of history to examine the stories that have shaped us as a nation.  

With the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding approaching next year, now is the time to schedule your personalized Archives experience! For more information on the guided options available for donors and other groups, please contact [email protected].
