The President's House: Freedom and Slavery in the Making of a New Nation dives into the paradox of freedom and slavery at the location of the first executive mansion of the United States of America. Both President George Washington and President John Adams lived in the executive mansion during their presidential terms. It is also the site where nine enslaved men and women lived and served the first president. The President’s House is a 24-hour open-air historic site that offers a space for reflection. There is also a glass area where guests can see archaeological fragments.
