Location
Foundation for the National Archives. How much do the American people really understand about the Constitution of the United States? The National Archives Experience is pleased to host the Center for the Constitution at James Madison’s Montpelier for their 4th Annual Claude Moore Lecture. The Center for the Constitution has been conducting a nationwide survey of people in the United States to study the public’s understanding of American constitutional principles. The survey was developed with input from numerous constitutional scholars across the country, and tonight we reveal the results! The distinguished panel includes constitution scholar Michael Meyerson, University of Baltimore Law School; Chuck Quigley, executive director of the Center for Civic Education; and Cokie Roberts, senior news analyst for NPR. The panel will be moderated by Michael Quinn, president of the Montpelier Foundation.

This tour delivers the goods. Being raised just outside of washington d.c. (Bethesda), I've gone on innumerable DC sightseeing tours in my lifetime. Every time a family friend or relative visited from out of town meant another trip down to the Mall, another sightseeing tour. Monument tours, ghost tours, "Duck" tours, you name it I've done it. But out of all the DC tours I've been on this was one of the best. I went last weekend with my nieces and nephews on the Capitol Hill tour, which lasted a little over two hours. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the historic sites and presented the information in a fun and lively manner. His enthusiam for the subject was infectious. He had my nieces and nephews in rapt atttention from start to finish. Highly recommend.
