President's Park surrounds the White House, home of every president since John Adams in 1800, and includes Lafayette Square's statues and the Ellipse, where the National Christmas Tree has stood since 1923. The British burned the house in 1814; it rose again as a symbol of the republic.

Explore the White House Visitor Center's exhibits and spot the first family's home from the fence. For a challenge, walk the full park loop past the memorials and the protest-filled history of Lafayette Square.
