Group tours of the Capitol and the White House are now once again available to the public. The White House will only accept requests for tours including at least ten people and will require the names, dates of birth, and social security numbers of all persons on the tour at least one week prior to tour date.

Arrangements must be made through the Congressional offices.  Please call Congressman Gilchrest's DC office for more information (202) 225-5311.

Please Note:  White House Holiday tours are extremely popular.  We encourage constituents who would like a Christmas tour to contact our office no later than June.  In 2006, the White House will be closed the following dates:  November 10th (Veterans Day); November 23rd (Thanksgiving Day); November 24th-December 1st (for holiday decorating); December 29th-30th (for removal of holiday decorations).
