On January 20th, 2017, our nation's capital will once again be the scene of history as America's 45th president is sworn in. Washington, D.C., will be buzzing with excitement during the inaugural ceremonies and there are lots of ways for visitors to take part.

WATCH: President Truman's 1949 swearing-in ceremony—the first inauguration to be televised.

Tickets to the Swearing-in Ceremony:

The window for requesting tickets to the Swearing-in Ceremony of President-elect Trump has closed. Missourians who are selected for tickets through our office's random drawing will be notified by Friday, December 16th.

If you do not receive tickets, you can still view the Inauguration from the National Mall. The U.S. National Park Service will set up public stands from 4th Street NW back down the National Mall to the Lincoln Memorial. From there, the Swearing-In ceremony will be available for viewing on large projection screens.
