SIGNERS' HALL TOUR
By taking an audio tour through Signers’ Hall, your group will be transported back in time to September 17, 1787, to relive the moment when the Constitution was signed. The delegates come to life as actors tell your students about the Constitutional Convention and what life was like in the Summer of 1787. This audio tour, which includes a special introduction by President George H.W. Bush, offers an exciting way to explore our past and encounter the issues still challenging us today.
We the People Tour

MISSION: THE OVAL OFFICE TOUR
Grades 5-8
This interactive audio tour of the main exhibition is designed for 5th to 8th graders. During the tour, students are guided by an avatar with the voice of WXPN's Kids' Corner host, Kathy O'Connell, and using their iPods as a secret agent's gadget, they use the Center's theatrical performances, text panels, artifacts and interactives to discover interesting facts about the presidency. The tour combines the fun and adventure of a scavenger hunt with a richer educational experience. WIth every part of the mission solved, students gain more knowledge of the history of the presidency.
