What you can expect

The National Archives Museum houses some of the most important documents in American history, preserving the words that shaped the nation. Inside its monumental Rotunda, you’ll stand before the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights—powerful symbols of democracy and freedom.

On this 2 hour small-group tour—limited to just 6 guests—your expert guide will bring the museum’s most remarkable artefacts to life. See the Emancipation Proclamation, Abraham Lincoln’s pivotal order that redefined the Civil War. Examine a rare 1297 copy of the Magna Carta, the foundation of modern constitutional law. Discover handwritten letters from George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, a petition advocating for the abolition of slavery, and even a citation issued to Rosa Parks, each offering a window into the people and movements that defined America.

By the end of the tour, you’ll have explored the defining struggles, evolving rights, and landmark decisions that continue to shape the United States. Whether you’re passionate about history or simply curious to see these legendary documents up close, this experience offers an unforgettable glimpse into the nation's past.
