The parts of the show covering White House ceremonies was a bit of a snooze but the in-depth history of the White House made up for it. The stories of everything from the war of 1812 to the total reconstruction of the entire structure were fascinating.

A very interesting back of the scenes look at the White House during the Bush years.

The White House is at all times many different things. It's a museum where tourists come to see our country's history, a place of business where some of the greatest decisions of democracy have been made and, to the families of 42 Presidents, it has also been a home. The White House is perhaps the most photographed location in all of the United States of America but those images are mostly from the outside looking in. Now, President and Mrs. Bush invite viewers to join them on the first in-depth televised tour of this grand residence since Jacqueline Kennedy invited cameras inside in 1962. President and Mrs. Bush share their own personal insights and what it has been like to live in this historical house. In addition, special guests, brothers Leslie and Leigh Keno, well known from television's Antiques Roadshow, join the tour to offer their insight and engaging curiosity to the journey.
