National African American Culture and History Museum



The National Museum of African American History and Culture is a profound tribute to the rich heritage and contributions of African Americans throughout history. As the newest addition to the Smithsonian Institution, this stunning architectural marvel houses thousands of artifacts, interactive exhibits and poignant displays that tell the story of the African American experience. From the legacy of slavery to the civil rights movement, visitors can explore the complexities of history and celebrate the resilience and achievements of a vibrant culture. We have exclusive access to the museum two hours before it opens to the public.

National Cathedral



The majestic Washington National Cathedral, an iconic symbol of faith and resilience, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture. Its soaring spires and intricate stained-glass windows create an awe-inspiring atmosphere that invites reflection and contemplation. We will meet with the Washington National Cathedral's Dean Randy Hollerity and Provost Jan Naylor Cope for a private tour.

The Pentagon



A symbol of American military strength, The Pentagon is one of the most significant office buildings in the world and a vital center of the U.S. Department of Defense. We'll have special access to explore its rich history through a private tour with L3 member and Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Richard Myers. He will delve into its architectural significance, its role in military operations and its impact on global events.

Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, this prestigious club will be the location of our lunch where we will hear from special guest John Swan, former Premier of Bermuda.

The People's House Museum



The People's House Museum opened in September 2024. We will explore the history and significance of the White House, the residence of every U.S. president since John Adams.

Special programs and guided tours offer unique insights into the heritage of this national treasure, making it an essential stop for any visitor to Washington, D.C.
