Inaugurations on the National Mall: An American Tradition

Thursday, February 15, 2024

Which president had to climb out a White House window at his crowded inauguration party?  Which president was lassoed during his inaugural parade?  While presidential inaugurations have traditions, each event has its unique stories.  As Presidents' Day approaches, join rangers from National Mall and Memorial Parks for a look back at some historic inaugurations.  See how much you know about presidential history and ask the rangers what they might remember from the Inauguration Days they have witnessed.  

 This program is designed for grades 1 - 5, but all are welcome to join.
