Overview

Step inside one of Washington's most breathtaking buildings and discover why the National Archives is so much more than a records hall. Marvel at soaring marble columns, grand murals, and stunning architectural details as you make your way to see the Charters of Freedom, including the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights, alongside the 1297 Magna Carta in Records of Rights and other new exhibits.

With skip-the-line access and a small group capped at just 6 guests, you'll get an intimate, unhurried experience with a professional guide who's deeply versed in America's founding documents. Learn how these documents shaped the nation, and gain a richer understanding of the rights and freedoms Americans enjoy today.
