While tourists may visit many monuments, museums, parks and other sites without first making reservations, some popular sites require that tours be requested in advance. Please contact Congressman Rogers’ office if you are interested in any of the following tours:

• U.S. Capitol building

  • You will be required to submit the full names, birthdates, and social security numbers for everyone who will be attending the tour.  Non-US residents are required to submit their passport number.

Tours are generally done on a first come first serve basis, so be sure to plan ahead!
